Cannabis in the Kitchen: Cannabis Coconut Mojito

As cannabis is becoming more acceptable, people are finding ways other than smoking it for consumption. One such way is through Robin Griggs Lawrence’s “The Cannabis Kitchen Cookbook: Feel-Good Food for Home Cooks.” Lawrence’s cookbook is proving that cannabis edibles are far more reaching than brownies—that you can make sophisticated food using cannabis extracts.

We should point out that this particular recipe uses standard cannabis containing 10 percent THC. This can be a very difficult strain to purchase or grow yourself, so you may have to adjust your recipe accordingly. Furthermore, this means that the potency of your cocktail and the effects you’ll feel from it may be different.

½ cup of light coconut milk or coconut cream

2 young coconuts or 2 teaspoons dehydrated unsweetened coconut flakes

wooden pestle or ice cream scooper
