The holidays can be a stressful time. You’re practically obligated to share a space with family regardless of whether you get along or not. After all, sometimes familiarity really does breed contempt. While the Grinch might steal Christmas, your other green friend may be the perfect solution for putting your family in the holiday spirit. Would it really be so bad to infuse a little THC or CBD in the eggnog? I’m not necessarily saying you should get your family high as a way of chilling them out this Christmas — but if I were, these are the top five cannabis cocktails I would recommend for getting your aunt stoned.
Cannabis Eggnog
- 4 grams or more of marijuana
- 5 whole cloves
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 separated egg yolks
- 1 ½ cups of sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 cups of light cream
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 ½ cups of light rum
Method
Use cheese cloth to strain the weed.
- Put the marijuana, cloves, cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon vanilla in a saucepan. Heat over the lowest setting for 30-60 minutes. You want to keep the milk around 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Keep it steaming while stirring to prevent the ingredients at the bottom of the pan from scalding.
- Combine egg yolks and sugar into a large bowl. Whisk until somewhat fluffy. Whisk milk mixture and cannabis slowly into the eggs.
- Put the mixture into the saucepan and cook over low medium heat. Stir for three minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened. Do not let it boil.
- Strain using a strainer or cheese cloth to remove the weed and the cloves.
- Stir in rum, cream, nutmeg, and two teaspoons vanilla after straining.
- Refrigerate overnight prior to serving (be sure not to let the family have a taste-test too far in advance)
Cannabis Colada
