Beat the heat with cannabis popsicles

It’s that time of year again when we stock up on our fridges with all sorts of chilled and frozen goodies. I personally stock my frozen cannabis-infused edibles, especially weed popsicles.

Cannabis edibles are quickly carving out a niche as one of the best ways to use cannabis. Of those edibles, weed-infused popsicles are quickly making a name for themselves as the most enjoyable and coolest way to use weed, especially in the summer.

Almost everyone had popsicles as a child; In fact, some of us still enjoy the cool sensation of a popsicle on hot days. Read on to learn about a cool way to blend your childhood pleasure (frozen popsicles) and current pleasure (cannabis) into an even greater pleasure (cannabis-infused cannabis).

As usual, very hot temperatures are expected in summer. Cannabis-infused popsicles are a healthy, well-treated frozen treat to enjoy as a snack during those hotter months. It’s easy to see why they’re an increasingly popular option among different age groups. They are easy to whip up and offer a simple and direct way to dose cannabis. There’s that sense of accomplishment that comes with feasting on your own cannabis-infused pops.

If you’re one of those few who haven’t eaten popsicles in a while, here’s your chance to rekindle your love for popsicles with a preferred amount of cannabinoids.

Why Make Weed Infused Popsicles?

We all know that smoking is the most popular way of consuming cannabis. However, this is not as common on hot days or times of the year. Edibles like frozen popsicles are preferable. They’re a perfect way to avoid smoking without missing out on the downright euphoric effects of cannabis.

The development of these creative new forms of consumption has been dramatically impacted by the health issues and stigma attached to the traditional approach. By moving away from these forms, alternative forms of consumption such as edibles have gained popularity and are gradually becoming the norm around the world.

Like any other edible product, cannabis-infused popsicles can take up to an hour to kick in, but that doesn’t preclude the fact that it’s worth it. Depending on the dose of cannabis infused, you could be glued to the couch or smiling at your favorite pictures for hours without any apparent reason.

For medical cannabis patients, weed-infused popsicles are an excellent medium to take their daily medicine without making the house smelly or hurting their throat. Although everyone has a unique reaction to edibles like infused popsicles, a general consensus is that they’re a convenient, fun treat.

Ways to make weed-infused popsicles

There are different flavors and colors of cannabis-infused popsicles. Every day we see people developing newer and more exciting ways to make regular popsicles and cannabis-infused popsicles.

The significant difference between regular popsicles and cannabis-infused popsicles is the presence of cannabis. Therefore, you could follow your regular popsicle recipe and add your decarboxylated cannabis.

As mentioned, weed-infused popsicles are super easy to make in the comfort of your kitchen area. Here are three awesome recipes to create wonderful popsicles infused with cannabis bliss.

Recipe 1: Fruity popsicles

First the required ingredients and equipment. These include:

• mixer

• knife

• Popsicle shapes

• measuring cup

• Berry

• strawberry

• banana

• Or a mixture of selected fruits

• water or fruit juice

• Additives such as sugar, honey, maple syrup or glucose.

• vanilla extract

• And cannabinoid tincture.

Note that the quality and quantity of your cannabinoid-infused tincture will determine how effective your popsicle would be. Dose is an essential aspect to consider. Try not to use more than a 5mg dose of the edible tincture for a batch of 12 popsicles. This way, each popsicle contains an average of 60mg of cannabinoids.

steps involved

1: Handle the fruit gently and cut into small pieces suitable for mixing.

2: Mix the chopped fruits evenly.

3: Add your other ingredients to the blender such as vanilla extract, water or juice, sweetener or added sugar, and your favorite cannabis-infused tincture

4: Use the blender to mix the ingredients thoroughly with the blended fruits.

5: Pour the now even mixture into the clean popsicle molds.

6: Refrigerate them for at least 45 minutes, until chilled, cold, and firm.

Recipe 2: Creamy popsicles

To do this, you need to get all the items used above, including the fruity parts. You’ll also need creamy supplements like yogurt, milk, or coconut cream. You need your cannabis-infused tincture.

This recipe is special because it has that unique creamy texture and mouthfeel. It’s quite different from any other popsicle recipe. Once again, I must mention that the buzzing effects to be expected from the cannabis infused popsicles depend on the THC to CBD ratio of the tincture used.

steps involved

Do the same as in Recipe 1. Add your creamy additions as you pour in your other ingredients after mixing your fruit thoroughly. As usual, pour the even mixture into the various popsicle molds designed for this purpose. Then you cool

Recipe 3: Coconut Mango Popsicles

This recipe mainly uses coconut cream and ripe mangoes. Other ingredients include yogurt, vanilla extract, orange juice and honey. Don’t forget your infused coconut oil or decarbed cannabis to make fresh cannabis-infused oil for the pops.

steps involved

1: Prepare the first layer by chopping the mangoes and mixing them with orange juice.

2: Prepare the second layer by mixing honey, coconut cream, vanilla extract and yogurt.

Depending on the ingredients, you can add as many layers as you can. You could even get up to a dozen layers with different fruits and spices.

final remark

Remember that cannabis popsicles must be kept safely out of the reach of children. To an unsuspecting child, these popsicles would look and taste like regular colorful pops. Therefore, to keep your wards out of the ER, keep them out of their reach.

Aside from the above recipes, there are other cannabis-infused popsicle recipes that you could try. But we can guarantee that following the recipe above, you’ll want to live on either creamy popsicles, coconut mango popsicles, or fruity pops.
