Not Your Average Pot Brownie: 4 Ways to Infuse Cannabis in Your Cooking

We all know and love the classic pot brownie—simple yet effective, it’s a nostalgic nod to the pioneers of cannabis’ past. Cannabis is a multifaceted ingredient that can enhance both sweet and savory dishes.

Infusing cannabis into your cooking is an easy way to elevate your meals, bringing cannabis benefits to your favorite recipes.

We’re excited to share four creative methods for infusing cannabis into your everyday cooking. These ideas should spark a new world of cannabis curiosity in the kitchen. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or just getting started, these creative cannabis-infused ideas will take your dishes to a new high.

Cannabis-Infused Compound Butter

Cannabis-infused butter, or cannabutter, is a tried-and-true classic. While cannabutter is traditionally added to cookies and brownies, it’s often overlooked as a unique element to your treats and edibles.

For those who don’t know, cannabutter is simply butter that’s been infused with cannabis. The process allows you to incorporate the benefits and psychoactive effects of cannabis into everyday food. However, before infusing cannabis into butter, it must undergo decarboxylation.

This process transforms the non-psychoactive compounds in the cannabis plant into psychoactive ones. THCV transforms into THC, for example. When smoking cannabis flower, the flame activates THC by decarboxylating the cannabis instantly. Cooking is a little different.

The easiest way to achieve this for cooking is by slowly heating the cannabis at a low temperature before mixing it with the butter. Monitoring temperatures may be tedious, but the culinary possibilities are endless once the butter is infused and readily available. Now, you can incorporate the effects and flavors of cannabis easily into everything you’d traditionally use butter for.

Add garlic or shallots to the cannabis butter and spread on toast or saute some fresh vegetables. You can thank us later.

Cannabis Infused Syrups 

Whether it’s adding to your coffee or drizzling over waffles, a cannabis-infused syrup offers a sweet way to enjoy your cannabis. They’re simple to infuse and essential for any cannabis enthusiast who values convenience.

What sets cannabis-infused syrups apart is their adaptability. There are tons of possibilities that give you the flexibility to add cannabis into your daily routine without hassle:

• Dosing your morning coffee or tea.
• Pouring over pancakes or waffles.
• Adding to desserts like cakes and pastries.

As versatile as they are delicious, cannabis-infused syrups aren’t just for food—they can also take your drinks to the next level.

Mocktails

Okay, so this isn’t technically “cooking,” but who says cannabis-infused magic should be limited to just food? Cannabis-infused mocktails are a fun and refreshing way to enjoy the benefits of the plant without the buzz of alcohol. Mocktails add a burst of cannabis creativity to any occasion.

Crafting your cannabis-infused mocktail is simple and effective. Start with a high-quality cannabis tincture or an infused syrup. Add the amount you want, and voilà—simple as that.

What makes a mocktail stand out is its versatility. You can keep it simple with sparkling water and lime or experiment with more complex flavors like mint and ginger.

Using a tincture allows you to easily adjust the dosage to your ideal amount. This extra layer of control provides a consistent experience, allowing you to make the drinks as potent (or not) as you or your guests’ preference.

No matter your preference, a cannabis-infused mocktail is a delicious spin on cocktails. It’s a new way to add cannabis to your routine.

Cannabis-Infused Oil 

Cannabis-infused oil is another all-around option for your kitchen. By injecting a potent boost of THC into the oil of your choice, you can use it in a variety of dishes.

Whether cooking a savory meal or baking a sweet treat, cannabis oil can easily be incorporated into your favorite recipes.

• Roasting Vegetables: For a potent side dish, cook your favorite vegetables in cannabis-infused oil.
• Sauce Making: Add the oil to homemade sauces to add a cannabis infusion to your appetizer.
• Cake Baking: Top off the meal with a cannabis cake by substituting regular oil with cannabis-infused oil for a boost of euphoria with every bite.
• Pasta: Combine cannabis-infused oil over your favorite pasta for an elevated take on a main dish.

Similar to infusing cannabis into butter, oil is a simple process. An oil with a high smoke point, such as olive, coconut, or avocado oil, is suggested. The first step is to decarboxylate your cannabis in the oven to activate the THC.

Once decarbed, the cannabis is mixed with the oil in a saucepan. This allows the cannabinoids to infuse into the oil. Once strained and cooled, your cannabis-infused oil is ready to use. This is an effortless way to incorporate the benefits of cannabis into cooking.
