COOKING WITH CANNABIS: HOLIDAY IDEAS
Combining your favorite pot with holiday traditions can be lots of fun in a number of ways—especially now that you have some time off work. Try out some tasty edible recipes and discover how cannabis can enhance your cooking during this special time of year.
Sure, it can make everything smell great, but how about some other benefits that come along with using this herb? After all, holidays mean bringing friends over for snacks and drinks. Spice up the holiday spirit, and your friends and family will have something pleasant to look forward to the next time they see you.
Holiday Dishes
When you’re cooking for the holidays, you want to ensure your dishes are festive and delicious. From classic turkey dishes to festive side dishes and desserts, there are so many ways that cannabis is perfect for your holiday cooking. If you’re planning on making a side dish, such as mashed potatoes, try adding a touch of CBD oil to help enhance the flavor.
The terpenes from the plant cannabinoids help create additional aromas that can help make the dish even tastier. It can be especially helpful for those with special dietary needs, such as when you have to make your mashed potatoes gluten-free.
If you’re making a classic holiday dish, such as turkey, try adding some cannabis-infused honey to your gravy. This can help make your dishes even more festive while also adding some extra flavor.
Tip: Try adding a touch of cannabis-infused maple syrup to your dessert for a sweet finish.
Holiday Drinks
Cannabis-infused drinks are perfect for the holidays. Plus, they’re easy to make. All you have to do is see to it that the cannabis is well-infused and then add the alcohol. Once they’re combined, pour the mixture into a cocktail shaker and shake it up.
You can even use a strain that has flavors like mulled spices or peppermint for added flavor and complexity. This will see to it your drink tastes great, and you won’t have to worry about anyone getting confused about what’s in it.
Cannabis-infused drinks are some of the most popular holiday drinks of the season, and for a good reason. They are easy to make, convenient, and delicious. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that more and more people are turning to cannabis-infused drinks as their go-to drink when celebrating the holidays.
We all love to drink something during the holidays, but sometimes it’s hard to find something that’s both festive and delicious. Depending on the strain you choose and the quantity you infuse, cannabis can add a range of flavors that are perfect for drinking at any time.
For drinks that are perfect for entertaining, try using a strain that has a strong smell akin to the aroma of oranges. These strains can help add some citrus flavors to your beverages, which will surely be a hit with your guests.
Looking to make drinks that are specifically for relaxing? Try using a strain with strong aromas that smell similar to cinnamon or nutmeg. These strains can help you relax, which will make for a great holiday evening.
On the other hand, for drinks that are perfect for pairing with dinner, try using a strain that has a strong aroma that smells similar to pears or apples.
Cookies, Brownies, and Cupcakes
Cookies and other baked goods can make for a great gift or snack during the holidays. Some strains are perfect for creating cookies that smell like ginger, while others are perfect for creating a cookie that smells like apples.
If you need a cookie that’s perfect for gifting, try choosing a strain with strong aromas that smell like ginger. For cookies ideal for enjoying at home with friends during the holidays, a strain with strong citrus smells is an excellent option. These strains can help create cookies that boast robust flavors—perfect for snacking on.
Cannabis cookies and cupcakes make a perfect holiday treat. They’re delicious and easy to make, and they’ll be a hit with everyone at the party. The downside is that they’re not suitable for every occasion, so you need to know your audience before making them. But if your crowd is cannabis-friendly, you can easily create a special treat.
Things to keep in mind:
Make sure the THC content of the cookie or cupcake is low enough so that no one will get extremely high from eating it.
Not all cookies and cupcakes are made equal; some are much better than others. So do some research and find out what’s best for the type of people who will be eating them.
For cupcakes, try choosing a strain that has intense aromas that smell similar to apples or pears. These strains can help you create cupcakes with strong aromas that will make for tasty treats that are perfect for any occasion.
Confections
If you’re searching for a way to get high during the holiday season, consider making something delicious. Whether you’re looking to mix up classic candies or make something new and exciting, there’s no shortage of options.
There are plenty of ways to incorporate cannabis into your desserts (some more obvious than others). For starters, some incredibly popular chocolate bars are infused with all sorts of things, from marijuana-infused butter to cannabis-infused snack bars.
Of course, if you want to go all out and create your own edible masterpiece, you can easily do so using a number of different methods—these range from simple baking recipes to more involved cooking techniques like vaporizing ingredients in a hot oven.
Another popular type of cannabis confection is cannabis-infused lollipops. These lollipops are, in essence, soft candies made out of wax or other edible materials that have been infused with THC. Cannabis lollipops are a lot harder to make than their hard candy counterparts, but they do offer a unique experience for those who love weed lollies.
Cannabis taffy is another popular type of cannabis candy. This sweet treat consists of chewy strips of candy infused with THC resin. The flavor combinations are endless when it comes to taffy, so you can create your favorite flavor combination by experimenting with different kinds of taffy.
