Cannabis & Coffee

For those of you schooled in the finer things, here’s a way to mingle your finest homegrown with a sweet, thick Turkish coffee. Afiyet Olsun!

Ingredients:

A pot of good coffee.
1 teaspoon of finely-powdered straight Arabian mocha/cup.
A pinch of powdered cardamom seed.
0.5 g of pulverized hashish/cup.
1 teaspoon of honey/cup.

Place the mocha, cardamom and hashish in a Turkish coffee pot. Pour in the coffee. Heat the Turkish pot on a low flame until it threatens to bubble over. Remove it from the heat immediately.

Serve in demitasse or espresso cups with a small spoon. Dissolve in the honey. The coffee is sipped from the top, while the sweet remains of powdered mocha and honey etc... are eaten from the bottom with a spoon.

Cannabis "Santana" Soup

We've had plenty of recipes on the cookbook so far, from noodles to fudge, but we haven't yet had a soup. Thick, chunky soup goes very well when cooked with cannabis - here's a cracking recipe from the chaps over at Webestoned.com.

Ingredients:

4 pounds red potatoes
2 sweet yellow onions
1\2 pint heavy cream
1\2 pound sharp cheddar cheese- shredded
1-quart chicken stock
6 sprigs fresh thyme
3-4 tablespoons sweet dairy butter
3-4 tablespoons cannabutter
1\2 pound bacon
3 tablespoons tawny Port
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Directions:

Bring the chicken stock to a boil then keep it simmering. Throw in the thyme, then wash, peel and rough chop the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until soft.

Caramelize (slow sauté) the chopped onions in the cannabutter with salt and pepper. Add the onions and butter to the stock. Rinse the potatoes in cold water and add them to the stock. Slow simmer for at least two hours. Feel free to smoke away during this interval, just don't forget about your food!

Add the tawny port, then the cream. Using a hand mixer, blend the ingredients and simmer for another thirty minutes. DO NOT let the soup boil after the cream has been added! Add the cheddar cheese and blend once again.

Serve with crispy bacon and parsley as garnish (optional)

Apparently, it goes very well with a glass of port... try it and find out for yourself!

Marijuana Salad Dressing

The beauty of this recipe is that it can work with almost any dressing you can think of! As long as there’s a green herb involved somewhere it’ll fit in nicely and, hey presto, you’ve got yourself something pretty special to put on your salads.

Here’s an example of how it might go. You’ll need,

* Olive Oil.
* Vinegar (Balsamic if you want to be fancy)
* Minced garlic.
* Dijon mustard.
* Dried herbs, Oregano, Basil and Thyme.
* Finely powdered marijuana.
* Pinch of sugar salt and pepper.

You can use virtually any combination of oil and vinegar. One favourite is a fruity olive oil, and lemon juice.

To your oil and vinegar mix, you whisk in, depending on your tastes and tolerances:

  • Minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Dried herbs i.e. Oregano, Basil, Thyme, finely powdered marijuana, pinch of sugar salt and pepper.

Whisk together in a blender or bowl, add your salad greens to it, toss and serve.

The ratios of the ingredients are pretty much up to you, to get the consistency right you may want to make your mix and then work in the oil and vinegar as it blends. (With a proper mixer of course, not with a blender with the lid off…)

Cannabis Noodles

Here's an interesting idea for those who like a more oriental flavour in their cooking:

Cannabis Noodles

this can be made for any number of people, and the amount of ingredients necessary vary - it's best to use common sense on this one.

Noodles - any type.
Butter
Seasoning of your choice
Cannabis, finely chopped - slightly more than you'd use to smoke.
Lamb or Chicken cut into chunks (not necessasary if vegitarian)


Melt the butter into a pan and fry the meat until browning. Fill a separate bowl two thirds full of water and bring to the boil. Add you chopped cannabis and any seasoning, and leave to simmer for fifteen minutes. Then add the meat, stir, and leave for a further five minutes. Lastly, add your noodles and bring to the boil for five minutes. Serve with cannabis left in or taken out as you prefer (in give a more powerful high).

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.
