Summer Weed Lemonade
INGREDIENTS
- 6 cups (1.35 liters) cold water
- 2 cups (450 milliliters) lemon juice (or 8-10 lemons)
- 1 cup (225 grams) sugar
- 3 Teaspoons infused vegetable glycerine or Cannabis THC Tincture
- Pinch of salt (optional)
HOW TO MAKE
- Simply use lemon juice that has already been squeezed to make this citrusy. Of course, if you squeeze the lemon yourself, it will taste better. No matter where you got it from, add fresh or bottled lemon juice to the water and thoroughly combine it.
- Some people prefer syrup over sugar, which is a method of ingesting cannabis that has become increasingly popular in recent years. The sweet element is added at this stage, but it’s not necessary. If you have diabetes and use a natural sugar substitute like Stevia instead, be aware that you should utilize sugar cautiously. Also keep in mind that the canna-syrup is very sugary. Keep in mind that the canna-syrup is also quite sugary.
- To this, add the glycerine and, if necessary, a pinch of salt.
- Combine the powdered mix back into the mixing container and thoroughly whip once again.
Strawberry infused Lemonade
Ingredients
- 3 Lemons
- 6 Large Strawberries
- 5 cups water
- Ice-Cubes
- Sweetener to taste.
Instructions
- To make lemon water, cut one lemon in half, squeeze the juice into a microwave-safe bowl or cup, add one strawberry (sliced), and two lemon halves. Microwave for 1 minute 40 seconds to 2 minutes depending on your microwave, with a total of two cups of water added afterwards.
- Meanwhile, cut the strawberries into half-inch pieces. Squeeze one lemon into the pitcher and slice it before adding it.
- Place the ice cubes in a large pan, then add 3 cups of cold water. Drain out the microwaved lemon-strawberry water next. Squeeze as much lemon juice from the lemons as possible before removing them.
- Fill a tall glass or a goblet halfway with ice and the cup. Add the cup and ice to a tall cocktail glass or a stemmed goblet. Fill the rest of the glass with sparkling water and set it aside. Stir in any sweetener before serving.
Recipe Notes
When preparing lemonade with the peel and juice, be sure to bring it to a near-boiling temperature before serving. If you heat up this lovely aroma and flavor, you’ll notice that it’s considerably better. Add extra water or Sweetener if necessary to balance out its strength. Use 1/2 cup (or more) of Vodka or Tequila to spruce it up for the grown-up version. You may use the other version as a sugar syrup for Vodka lemonade by making a Thick or Rich Simple Syrup (basic, simple syrup) — A ratio of 1 part water to 1 part sugar — This is used as the basis for cold fruit beverages and cocktails. On medium-low heat until the desired consistency is reached. Cool it before incorporating it into the lemonade.
Best Weed Lemonade
Ingredients
- fresh lemons
- water
- a sweetener of choice
- cannabis tincture
Instructions
- In a saucepan or pot on the stove, combine the water and raw honey.
- Stir until the honey has completely dissolved.
- Remove the heat (about a minute).
- Pour the filtered water into a pitcher or large container (the recipe specifies precise amounts below).
- To get the desired degree of sweetness, add the raw honey mixture gradually as needed.
- Pour the lemon juice, half of the white crème de menthe, and half of the vodka into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake for 30 seconds, then strain into a chilled martini glass. If you like, add whipped cream and broken white chocolate to finish.
Instructions
- Fresh lemon juice is the best option, not concentrated or pre-squeezed lemon juice. It won’t be the same.
- Use high-quality ingredients such as fresh, strong lemons, raw honey, and excellent water to improve the quality of your lemonade.
- Don’t just dump the entire box of sweetener in; it’s not required to do so. Before adding honey water, test the lemonade mixture to see how much honey water is needed to achieve proper sweetness.
- Save the pulp, if desired, or take it out – If you don’t want the lemonade to have any pulp in it, strain it through a fine mesh strainer.
- Chill it as soon after mixing as possible – lemonade needs several hours in the refrigerator to bring the components together and produce the most delicious lemonade.
- Add more things – try combining one of the alternative fruits with your lemonade to create a completely new flavor profile.
- To prevent your lemonade from “diluting,” consider adding a little extra to transform into ice cubes for later.
