The weather is heating up, which means it’s time to start cooking up some delicious edible summertime treats! There are endless possibilities for creating recipes using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory or sweet, we’ve got you covered! And, if you’re looking to add some extra enjoyment for the adults, why not try your hand at making some delicious edibles?
Here, we’ll share six of our favorite recipes for summertime edibles.
1. Delicious Cannabis Pizza
If you are looking for a fun, delicious way to spend some time this summer, why not try making cannabis-infused pizza? This recipe is straightforward, and it’s sure to please the whole family. You can buy pre-made pizza dough at most grocery stores these days. You need to add some cannabis butter to the dough before baking.
To make this recipe even more unique, you can add some cannabis-infused toppings like pizza sauce or cheese! This is one of our favorite pizza recipes. The idea is to use a full-flavored edible to help you get into the “mood” you’re in. It’s a great way to enjoy some cannabis while still being able to have a conversation with your friends.
2. Cannabis Salve Topicals
A cannabis salve is a great way to have your favorite edibles without the effects of smoking or vaping. Cannabis salves are also great for your skin, hair, and nails since they’re non-psychoactive.
Cannabis can treat a wide range of skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and even burns. They are also great for soothing the skin when suffering from an itch or a rash. When making cannabis salves, be sure to use a good quality oil that has been extracted from whole plant material.
3. Weed Lollipops
A little bit of weed goes a long way. No, we’re not talking about the kind you might get from your dealer (we don’t condone the use of illegal substances). Instead, we are talking about the familiar treat known as weed lollipops.
If you have ever had a weed lollipop in your hand, you know how incredibly delicious they can be. Like regular lollipops, these edibles consist of cannabis-infused gelatin molded into various shapes and colors.
However, unlike traditional lollipops, which contain only THC, these edibles include THC and CBD. As such, they are more medicinal than recreational. If you’re looking for something unique to do this summer, why not try making some tasty homemade potions? This is a great way to get the whole family involved in the kitchen and make something fun for the entire family to enjoy!
4. Rice Krispy Treats
If you’re in the mood for something sweet, try making Rice Krispy treats! These treats are a classic, and they’re so easy to make. You’ll first need to make your favorite Rice Krispy cereal. Simply mix up your favorite cereal with some water, and then let it sit for a few minutes.
Once it has absorbed all the water, you can add some oil and stir until you get the right consistency of cereal to ooze out of the bowl! Next, heat some butter in a saucepan and add your Rice Krispy mixture.
Stir constantly while cooking until it turns into a golden brown coating over your mix. Then immediately pour into a greased pan and cool completely before cutting into squares or rectangles.
5. THC Gummies
One of the most popular edibles to date has been THC gummies. These sweet treats have been popping up everywhere and for a good reason! They are super easy to make and can be made with almost any cannabis product you desire.
You need a mold, some hash oil, vegetable glycerin, a food coloring agent, and a candy thermometer! The result is a delicious THC-infused candy that comes in flavors like Sour Diesel & Blue Dream.
If you need to obtain the weed portion of your recipe, check out your local dispensaries for more info. For example, a Massachusetts Dispensary allows recreational cannabis/marijuana purchase and uses by people over age 21. Purchasers do not need to be Massachusetts residents; all they need is a government-issued ID.
6. Cannabutter and Cannaoil
Cannabutter is a delicious way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. While cannabutter can be made using any cannabis, cannabutter made with high-quality canna oil will give you the most benefits and provide you with a completely different experience. Cannabutter is typically created by combining butter or oil with finely ground cannabis, which gives it its unique flavor and aroma. However, cannabutter isn’t just for savory foods! You can make cannabutter using sweet ingredients as well!
Wrapping Up
Finding the right edible oil is essential to getting the most out of your cannabis experience. It is important to note that the effects of edibles can vary from person to person, so it’s always a good idea to start low and go slow!
If you’re trying to get a feel for what you like and don’t like, start by making small batches of edibles at home. After you’ve figured out what works best for you, try making larger batches at home. This will allow you to find the proper dosage that works best for your particular needs.
