Making Cannabis Infused Yogurt

Cannabis

35 Minute Decarbed Cannabis For Yogurt

It is important to decarboxylate cannabis before using in edibles. Please visit the links to Decarboxylation and Dosing Edibles for more information. Although the recipe below uses 2 to 3 grams, you can use more or less, depending on the desired potency. When breaking up the cannabis into small pieces, you want to make sure that the particles do not pass through the strainer. This will prevent the cannabis yogurt from having a gritty texture.

Milk

Milk For Cannabis Yogurt

Using full fat milk will result in a firmer, creamier Greek cannabis yogurt. Therefore, low fat or skim milk is not recommended. Goat’s milk can be used with great success as well. Some people find that goat’s milk has a strong taste, but if you don’t mind the taste, use it. Goat’s milk does not go through the homogenization process that cow’s milk goes through. For this reason, some people claim that it is easier on their digestive system.

Yogurt Starter

There are many different kinds of yogurt starter with different blends of active cultures. Each different culture may have unique culturing times. You must read the package recommendations and set your machine accordingly.

Using Starter Culture to Make Cannabis Yogurt

It is important not to overheat the culture or the bacteria will not survive. After you preheat your milk, you need to let the temperature come down to about 110° F before mixing the culture in.

Straining

Strain Whey From Cannabis Yogurt

Strained cannabis yogurt is higher than regular yogurt in protein, fat and calories. To start, your cannabis yogurt must be completely chilled before beginning the straining process. Ultimately, the longer you strain the yogurt, the thicker it gets.

Whey

After straining your cannabis yogurt for 24 hours, you will notice a yellowish liquid resembling lemonade in the bowl under the strainer. This is the whey. Do not discard this liquid. Whey can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 months. Substitute it for milk in recipes like pancakes and biscuits for a subtle sourdough taste. Although it tastes slightly like cannabis, there are no psychedelic effects from consuming the whey in small quantities. Cannabinoids are fat soluble and end up in the creamy cannabis yogurt portion.

Consuming Cannabis Greek Yogurt

Cannabis edibles can take up to 2 hours to feel the effects, so it is important not to consume too much at once. You can’t reverse the effects of getting too high, you can only wait it out.

Take care and enjoy!
