Cannabis-Infused EggnogRecipe
Yields: 6-8 servings
Overall Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes (including chilling time)
Ingredients:
6 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup bourbon (optional)
1/4 cup cannabis tincture
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Instructions
First, in a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. This process should take about 5 minutes. Next, in a saucepan, combine milk, cream, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Slowly heat the mixture until it reaches a simmer.
Do not boil. Now gradually add the hot milk mixture to the eggs and sugar, whisking continuously to avoid curdling. Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
This should take about 15 minutes. Now remove from heat and stir in the cannabis tincture. If using bourbon, add it at this stage.
Chill and Serve: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Serve with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.
Note: The potency of the cannabis tincture can vary, so it's important to know your dosage. Start with a small amount if you're new to cannabis edibles.
