In addition to food, cacao has long been known as a medicine and even as an aphrodisiac. If consumed in moderation, it has many health benefits.
Cannabis has also been used for years as a crop, medicine and also as a spiritual tool. And as everyone knows by now, marijuana also has a wide range of health benefits.
It is not strange to say that chocolate is the best that exists, right?
Marijuana and chocolate, therefore, make a wonderful couple. It is not for nothing that there are many edibles on the market in which cacao and marijuana are processed.
But guess what? It is actually very easy to make cannabis cacao yourself. Just at home, in your own kitchen. Then you know exactly what is in it. And you can make as much as you want. Sound delicious, doesn’t it?
This is how you make homemade cannabis chocolate
It may sound complicated. But actually making cannabis cacao yourself is very simple.
Just keep in mind that you take the time for everything. Let it melt slowly and use top-shelf weed.
The ingredients below are with an estimated amount of marijuana. Keep in mind that edibles can hit you harder then you expect. So use the amount according to your own experience.
Ingredients
- 3-5 grams finely-ground cannabis of good quality
- 100 grams of dark chocolate
- Glass bowl
- Saucepan
- Chocolate mold
Preparation
- Decarboxylate the cannabis by spreading it over a baking tray and bake in the oven at 115°C for about 30-45 minutes. This will help prepare your weed for the absorption process.
- While the weed is in the oven, melt your cacao slowly. To do so, place a glass bowl on top of a saucepan with simmering water, add in your cacao, and stir occasionally. The steam will gently heat your cacao, leaving it smooth and creamy without burning it.
- Chop your decarboxylated weed as fine as possible, preferably using a powered herb grinder.
- Add the marijuana to the chocolate and mix thoroughly.
- Once well-combined, pour the cacao into the mold and let it cool. If you do not have a chocolate mold, feel free to use ice cube trays.
- Let the cacao cool and harden in the fridge.
You probably have enough to treat your friends too. Enjoy your own homemade cannabis chocolate!
