Sweet & Spicy V-Day Mocktails
Servings: 2
Note:For this recipe, Evans infused Flower Co.’s Ice Dream strain into the Cinnamon Cardamom CBD Simple Syrup, measuring at a total of 8.6 per cent CBD and 7.7 per cent THC before decarboxylation. Remember, your numbers will differ depending on the strain you use, so be sure to calculate your own CBD/THC milligrams per serving before making your infusion.
Equipment Needed:
Digital scale
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
Small saucepan
Thermometer
One 16-ounce Mason jar
Cheesecloth
Fine-mesh strainer
Shaker tin
Two 20-ounce copper mugs
Ingredients:
Cinnamon Cardamom CBD Simple Syrup
2 cups water
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon whole cardamom pods
4 cinnamon sticks
2.5 grams CBD-rich flower (your choice)
1 tablespoon food-grade vegetable glycerin
Apple Spice CBD Mule
Ice to fill mugs
4 ounces apple cider
2 ounces Cinnamon Cardamom CBD Simple Syrup
Ginger beer, to top and fill mugs
Cinnamon sticks, apple slices and star of anise for garnish
Directions:
Weigh out 2.5 grams of decarboxylated CBD-rich flower of your choice. Set aside. Combine the water, honey, cardamom and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Bring to a soft boil, stirring until the honey dissolves into the water. Reduce the heat to around 160°F to 180°F (71°C to 82°C) and add the decarboxylated cannabis. Simmer on low for 50 minutes, stirring from time to time. Reduce the heat and add the vegetable glycerin—this will give the CBD (and/or THC) something to bind to. Continue to heat and stir for another 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour the infused simple syrup into a 16-ounce Mason jar through cheesecloth placed in a fine-mesh strainer. Let cool before serving.
Fill two copper mugs with ice. Using a shaker tin, combine the apple cider and Cinnamon Cardamom CBD Simple Syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds to mix the ingredients together. Next, pour half of the mixture evenly into each copper mug. Top with ginger beer until the mug is full and then garnish with a cinnamon stick, apple slice and star of anise. Your hip and stylish CBD-infused V-day drink is ready to be served! Cheers!
