Cannabis Tea

For those who like to enjoy a hot drink on cold winter days - but with a twist. Best for breakfast, with tiffin, strong like a builders, weak in earl grey...well, pretty much any time. :) thanks to Marijuana-tea.com (http://www.marijuana-tea.com/) you can also substitute leaf for cannabis seeds for a slightly different...taste.


MARIJUANA TEA RECIPES

Billy's Marijuana Tea

4 cups water
1 cup marijuana leaf
2 of your favorite tea bags
honey (optional, but good)
milk/soy milk/rice milk (optional, but good)

Boil water and leave the leaf simmering in water for about 15 min. Add tea bags and or milk/honey and boil for another 5-10 min. If adding milk, pour very slowly so the milk doesn't curdle. Or microwave the milk first so it's a little warm as it hits the boiling tea.

Peter Piper's Marijuana Tea
gently simmer 1 gram cannabis per cup whole milk for 20 minutes...remove from heat and steep 1 mint tea bag per cup for 4 - 6 minutes...strain and refrigerate...stores well for at least one week I make a version of this with sugar and alcohol and liquor flavouring. I use 10% cream instead of whole milk and at Least 7 grams of cannabis per cup of cream...stores well for about 6 - 12 months...one ounce per serving...warms the heart!

Cannabutter Marijuana Tea
It's made with the liquid left over from making cannabutter that's reheated with a generous dollop of cannabutter in it. Put a little honey in it and it's sort of drinkable...in a gagging as it goes down kind of way. It's sort of better when you just add cannabutter to an Earl Grey or Orange spice herbal tea.

Hashish Fudge

Apparently, the Moroccans (a people famed for their spectacular hash production) use this to ward off colds in the winter. I can only imagine that after a few pieces of this, something as minor as a cold really would't worry you!

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 whole nutmeg
4 sticks of cinnamon
1 teaspoon coriander
Handful of dates, figs, almonds and peanuts
1 cup of sugar
50g cannabutter

Preparation:

Grind the first four ingredients together in a mortar and pestle. Chop the dates, figs, almonds and peanuts together and dust them with the spices. Dissolve the sugar into the cannabutter, then roll all of the ingredients togther into small balls. Serve and enjoy!

Cooking with Cannabis Seeds

There are plenty of recipes for cooking with cannabis, but I've only recently come across a series of recipes for cooking with cannabis seeds! This selection courtesy of http://www.schmoo.co.uk/thclub/recipes.htm...

Cooking with Cannabis Seeds

Before use soak the seeds for at least 4 hours or over night - they become more nutritious, more digestible and more delicious. Important: Do not over heat over 80F as this destroys the nutritional quality of the seed oil.

Cannabis Paste: After soaking add any other seeds you wish plus other herbs to taste such as cumin, coriander and grind into a paste in a pestle & mortar or coffee grinder or similar device. You can also use this to add (at the end of cooking) to soups and other dishes.

Cannabis Milk: Use the cannabis paste made as above or seeds just on their own, to whisk in a blender with mineral water. Add fruits and more butter and blend more for smoothie of perfection. Use the remaining pulp in your cannabis paste making or just add (at the end of cooking so as not to over heat) to dishes for extra creamy flavor.

2 Cups Red Lentils.
3 Cups Chickpeas - soaked over night
1 Cup of soaked cannabis seeds

Boil the chickpeas in fresh water until tender. Leave to stand to one side. Fry the onions and garlic without color adding the cumin and coriander and mix well.

In a blender, puree the strained chickpeas and add to the red lentils, season to taste, mix in the oats and cannabis seed. Leave to stand for 20 minutes in a cool place to absorb the moisture and the mix becomes workable to form small patties. Dip in Oats and shallow fry until golden brown. Serve in pitta bread with salad, and vegan mayonnaise.

Cannabis Banana Bread

I've found plenty of desert and cake recipes for cannabis cooking, but it is always good to come across something a little more savoury. (This recipe courtesy of www.smoking withstyle.com)

Ingredients (for one loaf):

1/2 cup of cannabutter
2 cups of flour
3 bananas (as ripe as possilbe
1/2 a cup of sour cream/milk
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Optional A handful of walnuts for texture.

Cooking method:

Heat the oven to 350 degrees, then beat together the eggs, sour cream/milk, sugar and cannabutter in a large bowl. Then add the vanilla and baking soda to the mixture.

Keep beating the mix, and gradually add the flour a little bit at a time. Once that has mixed in fully, add the bananas and beat them until they are mashed in.

Place it in a greased baking tray and cook for one hour.

Mary Jane Superweed Super Candy

Some of you may be familiar with the name Mary Jane Superweed - some classic 60's counterculture books on marijuana seeds, growing and cooking were published under this pseudonym (you can read an interesting mission statement from one of them here). So this recipe has some history behind it - all the way back from 1969!

Ingredients:

1lb cannabutter
3-4 tsps honey
2 cups of shredded coconut
1/2 cup of almond meal
1 cup chopped currents

Preparation:

Blend the cannabutter with the honey in a mixing bowl . Seperately mix the almond meal and coconut together, then knead in the cannabutter and honey mixture. Roll the currents into the mixture, then break it off into individual pieces.

Magic Pancakes

This Magic Pancakes recipe (courtesy of The Drugs Plaza) is simple and tasty, and a good way to use some of that cannabis milk - enjoy!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup of flour
2 tablespoons of baking powder
2 teaspoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
A pinch of cinnamon
2 tablespoons of oil
1/2 cup of water
3/4 cup of cannabis milk

Cooking Method:

Heat the frying pan on a medium heat while you make the batter. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly in one bowl, and mix together the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.

Add the wet mixture to the dry mix, and blend them together. Oil the frying pan slightly, then add the mix. Flip the pancakes when they begin to bubble on the surface, and be careful not to burn them.
