Adding weed makes just about everything in life better—especially when it comes to food and creating “special” recipes.
As the great Michael Kelso once said, “Someday I’m gonna own a restaurant, and everything is gonna be “special.” And then when people ask me and they say “Hey Kelso, what’s the special today?” I’m gonna say ‘everything!’
Until that restaurant actually does open, we’ve decided to provide you with some of the best tried-and-true recipes we know.
Once you learn the basics, you can make just about anything into stoner food.
Lets start off with a few staples:
Cannabutter:
Servings: 1 pound
Ingredients:
large saucepan
1 pound of unsalted butter
1 ounce of cannabis
cheesecloth
spoon
Tupperware container with a lid
rubber band that will fit around the Tupperware
Steps:
• Pour 2 inches of water into the saucepan and boil.
• Once boiling, add the butter into the saucepan, being careful that the butter does not burn. Once melted, turn the heat to low.
• Stir the cannabis into the butter, and simmer on low heat. Let simmer for at least 3 hours. The longer the simmer, the higher the potency. Make sure to stir often.
Strap 2 sheets of cheesecloth overtop the Tupperware bowl using the rubber band.
• Slowly pour the cannabis butter through the cheesecloth and into the Tupperware.
• Remove the cheesecloth, and ring-out any extra butter stuck in the cloth into the Tupperware.
Put the lid on the Tupperware and put it in the fridge until the water and butter separate. Carefully pour out the water—the remaining block is cannabutter.
Cannabis Ice Cream:
Servings: 1 Quart
Ingredients:
1½ quart ice cream container
large saucepan
small-holed strainer
large bowl
2 cups of cannamilk
1 cup of half-and-half milk
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon of corn starch
dash of salt
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons of vanilla extract
Steps:
• Use the large saucepan to mix the cannamilk, half-and-half, ½ cup sugar, cornstarch and salt. Whisk thoroughly.
• Cook the mixture over medium heat and stir constantly for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens, then take off heat.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and gradually add 1 cup of the hot canna-cream mixture in the saucepan.
• Take the new combined mixture from the bowl and put it all back in the sauce pan, and heat for an additional 2 minutes while stirring constantly.
• Poor the mixture through the fine strainer and into a bowl. Remove any solid pieces.
• Put the mixture in the fridge for 1 hour, uncovered. Stir occasionally, and after an hour, plastic wrap the top of the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for an additional 12 to 24 hours.
• Pour the mixture into a 1½ quart ice cream freezer container and stir in the vanilla extract.
• Put the lid—or plastic wrap—on the container and place it in the freezer until it solidifies into an ice cream consistency.

Ingredients:
large saucepan
1 gallon of whole milk
