Cannabis Drinks: Smoothies, Tea, Golden Milk & Infused Cocktails

There are days when you don’t want a solid meal — but still seek a conscious moment. Infused drinks are the answer: a smoothie, a warm cup of Golden Milk, a tea with Cannahoney. The preparation is simple, the effect comes more gently than with solid edibles — and the selection of recipes is larger than most think.

Cannabis Smoothie — Berry Smoothie fruity and infused

Why fat in cannabis drinks is so important

The biggest misconception about infused drinks: simply adding cannabis plant material in a tea bag to hot water. The result is a drink that shows little effect — because THC and CBD are fat-soluble and do not dissolve in water.

For effective cannabis drinks, every recipe needs a fat carrier:

Whole milk or cream — for tea, hot chocolate, latte
Coconut milk — for golden milk, curry smoothies
Avocado or nut butter — for creamy smoothies
Cannahoney — dissolves in warm drinks, contains its own fat molecules
Cannabis oil emulsified with lecithin — for cold drinks and cocktails

Those who take this into account will have success with every drink recipe.

Cannabis tea — the easiest way to start

Cannabis tea — a warm infused drink for every evening

Cannabis tea is the fastest way to get started with the Infused Kitchen. The effect comes slower than with other edibles — but the preparation is done in just 10 minutes.

Recipe:

250 ml hot water
1–2 tsp Cannahoney or 1 tsp cannabis coconut oil
1 tea bag of choice (chamomile, peppermint, ginger)
Optional: splash of whole milk or oat milk

Pour the tea, let it steep for 3–5 minutes, stir in Cannahoney or oil. Drink immediately — onset of effects after 45–90 minutes.

Infused Smoothie — Tropical Avocado Pineapple by ZenKitchen

Smoothies are ideal for cannabis oil: the natural fats in avocado and banana serve as an additional carrier — the active ingredient is therefore absorbed particularly well. This tropical smoothie comes directly from the ZenKitchen channel.

Cannabis Hot Chocolate — warm and intense

Hot chocolate is one of the best carriers for cannabis infusions: cocoa butter and whole milk together form an excellent fat carrier. The active ingredient is well absorbed — ideal for relaxed evenings.

Recipe (1 cup):

250 ml whole milk
30 g dark chocolate (70 %)
1 tsp cocoa powder
1–2 tsp cannabutter
1 pinch of cinnamon, sugar to taste

Melt the chocolate in the milk, warm up but do not boil, add cannabutter and serve immediately.

Cannabis Golden Milk — the ayurvedic superfood

Cannabis Golden Milk — Turmeric Latte as an Infused Drink

Golden Milk (Turmeric Latte) is not only healthy, but also a perfect carrier for cannabis: Coconut milk is rich in fat, turmeric and black pepper (piperine) enhance the bioavailability of the cannabinoids. A pinch of cannabis coconut oil and the drink is ready.

250 ml coconut milk (canned, full-fat)
1 tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp cinnamon
A pinch of black pepper (important for absorption)
1 tsp cannabis coconut oil
Honey to taste

Warm everything up in a pot (do not boil), stir in the oil, pour through a sieve into a cup. One of the warmest, healthiest infused experiences the kitchen has to offer.

Cannabis Milkshake and Banana Shake

Cannabis Banana Shake — creamy, sweet and infused

Milkshakes are easy to dose and evenly distributed: The cannabis oil emulsifies in the fats of milk and ice cream. A banana shake with 1 teaspoon of cannabis coconut oil, frozen banana and whole milk is ready in 3 minutes in the blender.
