However, to be honest, this item continues to be a rarity at the average dispensary, so you’re usually better off just whipping up a batch of your own.

When that time period has come and gone, remove it from the heat source, and place it to the side just for a moment. Now, you’ll need to prepare a container for storage. To do that, you’ll want to secure a piece of cheesecloth over the opening, with the help of a couple of rubber bands. Then, through the straining properties of that cheesecloth, pour the contents of that saucepan into the storage container. Place that container full of activated milk into the fridge, and boom, that’s it.
That’s how you make cannabis-infused milk. Not too hard, right?
Alright, once you’ve got all that in order, you can get to work on this amazing recipe.

Instructions

Cannabis Infused Milk Instructions

  • In order to do that, you’ll first want to heat up some milk in a fairly large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Be sure to keep an eye on that pan, as you just want to warm up the milk, not boil it. At this point, you can add in roughly one full ounce of finely ground cannabis flower.
  • Carefully stir those two contents together, before leaving it alone to simmer for 1-2 hours. Every now and then, head back to the saucepan to check on the consistency, and stir the mixture up a bit.

  • The first thing that you’re going to want to do is grab that butternut squash, peel it, then cut it in half (length-wise), before completely removing its seeds.
  • Then, grab a grater, and grate that squash to the best of your ability. Remember, you’re aiming to get about 2 cup’s worth of grated squash out of this part of the process.
  • Now, grab a large bowl, and sieve some baking powder and flour into it. After that brief step is complete, toss in your milk and eggs. Mix all of these ingredients together as intricately as you possibly can. You really want to blend these contents, so don’t skimp on effort here.
  • Once you’re happy with how that’s looking, you can then toss in that grated butternut squash, along your garlic, scallions, and bread crumbs.
  • Just like you did with the previous step, stir and mix all of these items together very, very well. This is also the point in the recipe where you can salt and pepper this mixture to your desired level of seasoning.
  • Upon finishing that step, pour some cooking oil in a pan, and place it over a heat source, set on medium. As that heats up, chuck in roughly a tablespoon’s worth of that previously made batter.
  • Using a spatula, press on these clumps of batter to flatten them out a bit. Repeat that process until your pan’s real estate is just about full. However, you should be mindful to keep roughly an inch or so between each fritter.
  • Keep those suckers in that pan for about 3-5 minutes. You’ll know it's time to flip them when they start to sport a solid golden brown hue. Then, when you’re satisfied with how they look on each side, simply grab a plate, and start serving these bad boys.
  • If you’d like, you can add some additional scallions or seeds to the exterior of these things, but other than that – you’re done.
  • You just made your very own batch of Cannabis-Infused Butternut Squash Fritters!
  • Nicely done, my fellow enthusiasts.
