Ingredients
2 tbsp infused coconut oil
Set your infusion strength above and this splits into infused and plain coconut oil to hit whatever dose you want.
- 2 cupsoat or whole milk
- 1 tspground turmeric
- ½ tspground cinnamon
- ¼ tspground ginger
- black pepper — a good pinch — it is not optional, it makes the turmeric usable
- 2 tspmaple syrup — or to taste
Method
- 01
Warm the milk with the spices over a medium-low heat until it steams. Do not let it boil.
- 02
Take the pan off the heat and whisk in the infused coconut oil and the maple syrup.
- 03
Whisk hard for thirty seconds, or blend it. Fat and milk separate on standing, and a separated mug means one person gets most of the dose.

Built on
Standard golden milk: 2 cups milk, 1 tsp turmeric, ½ tsp cinnamon, a pinch of black pepper, sweetened to taste.
Every recipe here names the conventional ratio underneath it. The cannabis part is a fat substitution, not new chemistry — so if the base is sound and the substitution is sound, the recipe is sound.

Before you eat it
- These are estimates, not lab results. Treat the low end as the honest number and the high end as the thing to plan around.
- Start with one serving and wait two hours. Edibles take 30 to 120 minutes to come on, and the most common mistake is redosing before the first one lands.
- Test a small piece first. Potency is rarely even across a batch, especially if the infusion was not mixed thoroughly.
- Label anything you store with the date and the estimated dose, and keep it away from children, pets and anyone who did not ask for it.
- If you overdo it: you are not in danger, but it will be unpleasant. Find somewhere quiet, drink water, and wait it out. Do not drive.

2 mugs
Mulled apple cider
