Introduction
Cannabis wine is a type of wine made with cannabis instead of grapes. It can be made by infusing cannabis into a regular bottle of wine, or by using cannabis grape juice to make a completely non-alcoholic version. Cannabis wine has a long history dating back to ancient China, where it was used as a medicinal tonic. In more recent times, it has become popular among people who are interested in exploring the potential benefits of cannabis for health and wellness.
Making cannabis wine is a relatively simple process, and there are many different ways to do it. The most important thing is to start with high-quality cannabis and wine. Once you have those two things, you can experiment with different methods and proportions to find the perfect combination for your own personal taste.
Here is a basic recipe for making cannabis wine:
Ingredients:
-1 ounce (28 grams) of high-quality cannabis, finely ground
-1 bottle of red or white wine
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 240 degrees Fahrenheit (115 degrees Celsius).
2. Spread the ground cannabis on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
3. Remove the baked cannabis from the oven and let it cool.
4. Place the cooled cannabis in a glass jar or vessel with an airtight lid.
5. Pour the entire bottle of wine into the jar, seal it tightly, and shake well to combine.
6. Store the mixture in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, shaking it occasionally to help combine the flavors.
7. After 2 weeks, strain the liquid through a coffee filter or cheesecloth into another clean glass container. 8Discard the solids that are left behind.
What You Will Need
-1 bottle of red wine
-1 gram of ground cannabis
-Cheesecloth
-Rubber band
-Funnel
-1 airtight container
Instructions:
1. Pour the entire bottle of red wine into the funnel.
2. Add the ground cannabis to the wine.
3. Secure the cheesecloth over the top of the funnel with the rubber band.
4. Allow the mixture to sit for 24 hours.
5. After 24 hours, remove the cheesecloth and funnel from the mixture.
6. Pour the cannabis wine into the airtight container.
Making the Wine
To make cannabis wine, you will need:
-1 bottle of red wine
-1 gram of high-quality cannabis (flower or concentrate), finely ground
-Wine decanter
-Coffee filter
-Cheesecloth
-Rubber band
Pour the wine into the decanter. Add the ground cannabis and stir well. Cover the decanter with the coffee filter and secure it with the cheesecloth and rubber band. Let the wine sit for 24 hours, then remove the cannabis and enjoy your wine!
Adding the Cannabis
Once the wine has been allowed to age and blend for the appropriate amount of time, it’s time to add the cannabis. The THC and other cannabinoids in cannabis are not water-soluble, so they will not extract into the wine on their own. You will need to use a carrier fat, such as grapeseed oil, to help them dissolve.
The process is simple: infuse your chosen oil with THC using your preferred method (a slow cooker is an easy option), then stir the cannabis-infused oil into the wine. Start with a small amount – you can always add more if you want a stronger effect, but you can’t take it out once it’s in.
Letting it Age
The next step is to let the wine age. You can do this by simply storing it in a cool, dark place for at least 6 months. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. If you want to get a head start on the aging process, you can try one of these two methods:
The first method is to barrel age the wine. This is done by transferring the wine to an oak barrel and then letting it age for 6 months to a year. The flavors of the wine will take on some of the characteristics of the wood, giving it a unique flavor profile.
The second method is to bottle age the wine. This is done by transferring the wine to bottles and then letting it age for 6 months to a year. The flavors of the wine will mellow and develop over time, giving it a smooth, rich flavor.
Enjoying Your Wine
Once you have made your cannabis wine, it is important to enjoy it in moderation. Cannabis wine is a potent drink and should be savored just like any other wine. To get the most out of your cannabis wine, pour yourself a small glass and take your time savoring the flavor. Try to drink it slowly so that you can enjoy the full experience.
Cannabis wine can be enjoyed on its own or paired with food. If you are pairing it with food, try to match the flavors of the wine with the flavors of the food. For example, if you are eating a spicy dish, you may want to pair it with a sweeter cannabis wine. Experiment and see what you like best!
