If you have extra time and want to infuse your drink the “old fashioned way”, we have a suggestion for how to take that PSL up a notch.
Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk (or milk alternative)
1-2 grams of decarboxylated cannabis (you can also grab a Zen tincture and add 10mg, or your desired amount based on preferred potency to make your own infusion. Check out our 5 Missouri locations to find the nearest one to you.)
Pumpkin puree
Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger
Granulated sugar
Strong brewed coffee or espresso
Whipped cream (optional)
Ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
Instructions:
1. Decarboxylate the Cannabis:
Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).
Grind cannabis into a fine consistency.
Spread it on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes.
2. Infuse the Milk:
If you’re using a cannabis tincture, you can skip step 2 by adding your desired dosage directly to your milk
Warm 1 cup of milk in a saucepan over low heat.
Add decarboxylated cannabis.
Simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring often.
Strain through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
3. Make the Pumpkin Spice Mix:
In a saucepan, mix pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and sugar.
Heat for 2-3 minutes, then let it cool.
4. Prepare the Latte:
Brew strong coffee or espresso.
In a mug, combine coffee, 1-2 tablespoons of pumpkin spice mix, and cannabis-infused milk.
Top with milk foam.
Optionally, add whipped cream and a sprinkle of spices.
5. Enjoy Responsibly:
Start with a low dose of cannabis-infused milk and adjust as needed.
Be patient; effects can take 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Follow local cannabis laws and store cannabis products safely.
