But ask anyone: Nothing is more romantic than a delicious meal where they don’t have to lift a finger. \r\n\r\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\r\n\r\nWhile [25% of Americans dine out on Valentine’s Day](https://www.huffingtonpost.com/michelle-pruett/valentines-day-dining-by-the-numbers_b_9178768.html), skip the reservation book this year and spoil your special someone with a healthy, home-cooked meal, prepared with love. Fixing these stuffed artichokes takes enough effort to show you care, without requiring any serious culinary chops. Infused with a modest dose of cannabis olive oil, the artichokes are a wonderful showpiece as a light main course or an elegant appetizer.\r\n\r\nThe [holistic wellness expert, Dr. Josh Axe, includes artichokes in any healing diet for their anti-inflammatory properties](https://draxe.com/artichokes/). Though the artichoke hearts are most prized for their flavor and versatility, the leaves are a rich source of anti-oxidants and phytonutrients. \r\n\r\nMany classic artichoke preparations rely on dipping the leaves in simple saturated fats, like butter or mayonnaise. But by packing the leaves with a simple, Italian-inspired stuffing, each bite is already filled with savory flavor. \r\n\r\n### Cannabis-Infused Stuffed Artichokes\r\n\r\n**Ingredients for stuffing**\r\n* 2 cups bread crumbs, preferably fresh\r\n* 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese\r\n* 3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped\r\n* 1/2 cup soppressata (or any cured Italian sausage available), diced\r\n* 1/4 tsp salt\r\n* A few grinds black pepper\r\n* 2 tbsp cannabis-infused olive oil*\r\n\r\n**Ingredients for artichokes**\r\n* 4 medium artichokes \r\n* 1/2 lemon, cut in wedges\r\n* 1/2 cup white wine\r\n* 1/2 cup water, more as needed\r\n* 1–2 tbsp olive oil \r\n\r\n*Cannabis-infused olive oil is easy to make and the DIY version saves money. But at home, potency levels vary wildly depending on flower vs. leaf, method and marijuana strain. To guarantee you and your Valentine have a pleasant night, [we recommend using Om Edibles Medicated Olive Oil](https://www.hellomd.com/products/58accbef5dc77b0007e75241/medicated-extra-virgin-olive-oil. Each teaspoon contains a lab-tested 15 mg dose of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which yields 22.5 mg of THC per artichoke in this recipe. Consider subbing 1 tablespoon regular olive oil for medicated if you want a lower dose of THC or you’re unsure of your THC tolerance level. \r\n\r\nRELATED: [HOW TO MAKE MARIJUANA-INFUSED COOKING OIL](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56b3979094aec0000c000043/how-to-make-marijuana-infused-cooking-oil-recipe)\r\n\r\n**How To**\r\n\r\nIf making your own breadcrumbs, place 3 or 4 slices of bread (a baguette works even better) in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse until crumbs are fine. Alternatively, measure 1 cup of store-bought breadcrumbs. \r\n\r\nPreheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread breadcrumbs across a baking sheet and toast in oven, stirring at least once, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool before tossing with grated Parmesan, garlic, soppressata, salt, pepper and medicated olive oil in a mixing bowl. \r\n\r\nCut off artichoke stems and discard, along with top inch of artichoke. (A serrated knife works best.) Using kitchen shears, snip half an inch off remaining leaf tips. Rub trimmed artichoke top and leaves with a lemon wedge. \r\n\r\nResting each artichoke on its base, separate the leaves with your thumbs and gently pull out purple leaves from center—move carefully as even small leaves can be thorny.  \r\n\r\nContinue plucking the purplish, then yellow, interior leaves from center, until the fuzzy part is exposed at the artichoke’s heart. Using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop out fuzzy choke. Squeeze a lemon wedge into the cavity.\r\n\r\nSpoon about 2 tablespoons of stuffing into each artichoke. Next, holding an artichoke over the bowl of stuffing with one hand, carefully pack the artichoke leaves with stuffing, using your fingers to gently press the mixture into the pockets of the artichoke leaves.\r\n\r\nCombine half a cup of white wine, a pinch of salt and few grinds black pepper into a medium-sized pot. Add artichokes, packing them snugly next to one another, leaves facing up. Add half a cup of water, adding more as needed until liquid reaches halfway up artichokes. Drizzle with additional olive oil, using canna-olive oil if desired. \r\n\r\nCovering pot tightly, bring to boil, and simmer on low until leaves are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove artichokes with tongs and serve artichokes warm. Eating slowly, work your way from the thorny leaves to the soft heart. \r\n\r\nPhoto credit: [Danielle MacInnes](https://unsplash.com/@dsmacinnes)\r\n\r\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our Cannabis 101 guide.

There's such a large variety of marijuana edible products out there, and lots of great reasons why patients take edibles for their medical needs.\n\nStill, if you're one of those patients who's sensitive to the differences in marijuana strains, you may find it difficult to get consistent edibles in a strain that works for you. Strain-specific cannabis edibles are available, but they're few and far between. Don't give up on edibles-all you may need is to use the right marijuana strain. \n\nRELATED: [EDIBLES. DO THEY WORK? ARE THEY SAFE? AVOIDING THE EDI-SASTER](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5640eb06510f78000b000014/edibles-do-they-work-are-they-safe-avoiding-the-edi-saster)\n\nAs a strain-sensitive patient, I stayed away from edibles for years. When I finally decided to give them another shot, I realized that my best bet was to make the edibles myself. This way I could pick the strains that worked well for me.\n\nMaking a good edible, I realized, is time-intensive. I was exhausted and overwhelmed by the process, and I'd often wind up making way more than I could easily consume before the cannabis-infused food went bad. I'd wasted my precious medicine.\n\nI knew there had to be a better way. So, after some research, practice and experimentation, I created this quick and easy recipe for making strain-specific tinctures.\n\nThe key to this recipe is using a full-melt cannabis concentrate instead of cannabis flower. While infusing an oil with flower takes time and requires very specific temperatures, concentrates dissolve quickly and easily into bases like oil, butter, honey, glycerin or alcohol. This saves time and minimizes the risk of something going wrong. It also allows you to work with much smaller amounts of cannabis, so you can make the amount you need and nothing more. \n\n### Recipe for Cannabis Strain-Specific Tincture\n\nTo begin this recipe, make sure you have the following ingredients prepared and tools ready to use: \n\n### Ingredients\n\n* 1/2 g (500 mg) full-melt cannabis concentrate in a strain that works well for you (I like to use rosin, because it's a full-melt extract that has never been touched by chemical solvents. That said, CO2 or any other full-melt concentrate will work as well.)\n\n* 1 oz (30 mL) oil (I use MCT oil, which is a liquid form of coconut oil, but you can use any liquid oil you like to cook with or mix into your food, such as olive, sesame or hemp oil. You can also substitute in butter or coconut oil if you're looking for a cooking base, rather than a tincture. Since butter and coconut oil solidify at room temperatures, they can't be used as a tincture but are perfect for making infused baked goods.) \n\n### Tools\n\n* Small pot\n* Nonstick spatula\n* 1-oz bottle with dropper\n* Small funnel (that fits into dropper bottle)\n* Small glass or silicone ramekin \n* Metal dab tool (a small metal tool designed for working with concentrates) or a butter knife\n\n### How To\n\n1.\tThe first step is to prepare your concentrate by decarboxylating it. Decarboxylation is a process in which cannabis is heated so that tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) will convert into (tetrahydrocannabinol) THC. This activates the psychoactive effects of the medicine as well as other properties of THC. If you'd like your medicine to give you the effects of a traditional edible, you can follow our [instructions on how to decarboxylate](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56de6bd6c60fd50008000081/decarboxylating-marijuana-why-its-important). As many concentrates come in plastic containers, be sure to use your dab tool or butter knife to transfer your concentrate into a baking dish, like a small glass or silicone ramekin, before heating. \n>_Note: If you're looking for a less psychoactive high, you may want to skip this step and leave your medicine in its raw form. THCA edibles have been gaining in popularity; this is because [THCA has many of the benefits of THC without the high](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/584f78817f091000089c44a4/the-medicinal-benefits-of-thca)._\n\n2.\tWhen you have your concentrate ready to go, warm 1 ounce of oil in a small pot on your stove's lowest heat setting. Allow the oil to warm up, but never boil or even simmer. \n\n3.\tAdd 1/2 gram of cannabis concentrate to the oil and watch for the concentrate to start melting into the oil.\n\n4.\tWhen the concentrate melts, stir it into the oil with the spatula. \n\n5.\tAs soon as the concentrate completely dissolves into the oil and the mix is a uniform color, remove the pot from the heat. This entire process should only take a few minutes. \n\n6.\tAllow to cool, then pour mixture through the small funnel into the 1-ounce bottle. \n\nYour resulting 1-ounce cannabis oil tincture will contain around 50 half-dropper (1.25 mL) doses. Each dose will contain around 10 mg of cannabis extract. \n\n### How to Use Your Cannabis Tincture\n\nYou can use this cannabis tincture in a variety of ways. The easiest method is to take it under your tongue as a sublingual medicine. To do this, drop the oil under your tongue and hold it there for up 90 seconds before swallowing. By allowing the tincture to absorb sublingually, you'll get more immediate effects as the medicine will enter your bloodstream directly rather than having to be processed by your digestive system. \n\nIf you'd rather take the tincture as an edible, you can mix it in with other food. I sprinkle mine over toast, add it to cereal, mix it in with applesauce or put it into my salad dressing. You can add it to almost any food you'd like. \n\nWhichever way you consume your tincture, make sure to [start small with your dosing until you know how much you need and how you're affected](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/57aa569b4059f80007e22798/dosing-cannabis-edibles-safely). Instead of taking a full dose, you might want to try a half or quarter dose, or even try just a drop or two. Wait a full two hours before taking more as edible effects take a while to kick in. \n\nIn the next installment of the Cannabis for Newbies series, we'll go over best practices on consuming sublingual cannabis products and why patients choose to use them. \n\nPhoto credit: [The Inadvertent Gardener](https://www.flickr.com/photos/inadvertentgardener/)\n\nNeed a medical marijuana recommendation?

Let dough chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes. \n\nFor the filling, toss the chopped pecans and chocolate into a small bowl. In a different bowl, whisk sugar and 3 eggs together, then mix in melted butter (non-infused), corn syrup, vanilla and salt.\n\nRemove the chilled pie crust from the freezer and add half the pecan and chocolate mixture as a bottom layer, then half of the liquid mixture on top. Repeat layers until both types of filling are gone.\n\nBake at 350 degrees F until crust is browned and filling has set, about 1 hour. \n\nPhoto Credit: [Annie Spratt](https://unsplash.com/@anniespratt)\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

It’s that little bit of special attention to yourself makes a difference between a stressful week and one that flows with ease. Adding details like tealight candles, essential oils, calming music, and a fizzy bath bomb infused with cannabis can enhance the experience, turning a regular bath into a seriously rejuvenating ritual. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### Making Your Own Marijuana-Infused Bath Bombs\n\nPreparing bath bombs is a simple process of combining wet and dry ingredients together to make your bath colorfully bubbly and fun. It’s easy to incorporate cannabis-infused oil into your bombs to take the serenity of your bath to the next level. \n\nThis recipe combines deeply nourishing cannabis-infused coconut oil with rose water to moisturize your skin, relaxing epsom salts to loosen stiff muscles, as well as pink Himalayan sea salt to stimulate circulation and help with detox. If you have sensitivities to any of the suggested ingredients, feel free to swap them out for products that work better for you. For example, you can use olive oil, avocado oil or jojoba oil in place of coconut oil if you prefer. \n\nRELATED:[MARIJUANA HAS A STARRING NEW ROLE IN BEAUTY PRODUCTS](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/59b87cdfd5d69e1783948b21/marijuana-has-a-new-starring-role-in-beauty-products)\n\n### Ingredients (Makes 8 to 12 Bath Bombs)\n\n>* 1/2 cup baking soda
\n>* 1/4 cup citric acid\n>* 2 tbsp pink Himalayan sea salts (fine grain)\n>* 2 tbsp epsom salts
\n>* 3 to 4 tsp cannabis-infused coconut oil
\n>* 1 to 2 tsp rose water
\n>* 1 tsp essential oil (floral scents pair well with this recipe)\n>* 2 to 3 drops food coloring (optional)\n>* Dried, crushed rose petals (optional)\n\n### Equipment\n\n>* Medium bowl\n>* Small bowl\n>* Spoon\n>* Whisk\n>* Disposable gloves\n>* Silicone/metal molds or cookie cutters (you can choose the shape)\n>* Wax Paper (if you don’t have molds)\n\n### Instructions\n\nMix all dry ingredients together in the medium-sized bowl, using the spoon to make sure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Separately, in the small bowl, combine all the wet ingredients together by slowly stirring them with the whisk until mixed well. When you’re done, put on disposable gloves and begin adding the wet mixture a little at a time (to avoid excessive fizzing) to the dry mixture. Use your hands to blend and gently knead the wet and dry ingredients together. You can add the optional crushed rose petals in at this step. \n\nWhen the mixture looks and feels like wet sand, test to see if it will stick together by taking a small amount and squeezing it in your palm. If the mixture sticks together after being pressed into itself, you are ready to move to the next step. If it’s not the right consistency, add more rose water to the mixture a few drops at a time and do another squeeze test until it sticks together. \n\nIf you have silicone or metal molds, tightly pack the mixture into them. If not, place cookie cutters on top of a piece of wax paper and pack the mixture into those, using a butter knife to level out the molds. For the best results, let your bath bombs rest overnight to dry out thoroughly.\n\nAfter they are completely dry, use them in your bath as often as you like. If it’s warm where you are, store these in the refrigerator so they stay firm.\n\nIf you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Creamy ricotta pairs well with fleshy figs and smooth, medicated honey to make a light, refreshing dessert that could easily follow a Mediterranean-themed meal. Or you could whip up this easy, three-step dish as a light afternoon snack on a day where you can take the time to enjoy the relaxing effects of the marijuana-infused honey.\r\n\r\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\r\n\r\n### Eating Figs in Season\r\nIn California, fig season begins mid-May and goes until mid-December, which means you can enjoy this sweet treat all summer long into the start of winter. Meanwhile, in New York, figs appear in late June and last through the early part of fall. If you’re not really a big fan of figs, you can try substituting some other fruits that are in season like pitted dates or apples—whatever suits your fancy.\r\n\r\n### Take the Wheel with Taste, Texture and Cannabis Dosage\r\nYou’re in complete control when it comes to this sweet-and-savory, cannabis-spiked recipe. By all means, add more figs if you’d like to make this dish more fruit-forward. Pick up your preferred brand of marijuana-infused honey.

Especially if you add fresh fruit to enhance the flavor and up the deliciousness with a few drops of **medicated tincture** for an extra kick. This recipe is a great addition to any Labor Day celebration as we welcome a new season.\n\n![Hello3-min (29).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello3_min_29_51a08effb7.png)\n\n### What’s a Tincture?\n\n[Tinctures](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/cannabis-tinctures-what-they-are-and-why-you-want-them) are concentrated liquid extracts, often made using alcohol, to draw out the nutritional and healing properties of herbs and plants. They have a long shelf-life, especially when stored in cool, dark areas. Like edibles, tinctures are **consumed orally** but have a higher absorption rate when taken sublingually or under the tongue, where it is quickly diffused into the blood through tissues in the mouth. When dosing a tincture sublingually, the effects can begin to set in as soon as 15 minutes after consumption or can take up to about 45 minutes. Most people will feel the effects reach their peak around 90 minutes.  \n\n![Hello4-min (27).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello4_min_27_a790ff93cc.png)\n\n### Choose Your Adventure\n\nFor this super simple recipe, you’ll be utilizing the powerful rays of the summer sun to help the tea steep and naturally deepen its flavor. You can be in full creative control by choosing the type of tea you want as your base as well as for deciding between [Sativa, Indica, or hybrid strain](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/cannabis-101-indica-sativa-and-hybrid-explained) tinctures to navigate whether you want to feel uplifted with a cerebral high, more relaxed with a body buzz or a pleasant balance of the two. \n\nBecause you’ll be using a cannabis-infused tincture, it’s important to make sure that you pay special attention to the dosage amount indicated on the label so that you can carefully include the right amount for your preference. If you’re using your own tincture that you have made at home, it’s recommended to start with a **1 mL** dose to see how you feel before increasing the amount one mL at a time to reach your preference. \n\nYou can keep the dose low for a nice, steady buzz or double or triple the dose if you’re up for a more noticeable high. It’s up to you what type of experience you want to have with this drink. You can go for a high THC/low CBD tincture for a more psychoactive experience or opt for a high CBD/low THC tincture if you’re interested in a more chill, subtle experience. \nTinctures can be swallowed regularly in foods or drinks but keep in mind that it will be absorbed at a much slower by your liver than the other method, similar to how an edible sets in, so be patient while you sip on your refreshing drink and let the good times roll. \n\n### Ingredients\n\n- 1 gallon of water\n- 8 tea bags (I recommend straight up traditional Lipton tea)\n- 1 cup of water\n- 1 cup diced peaches\n- Cannabis-infused tincture (dosage depends on desired strength)\n- Honey or agave (optional, to taste)\n- Mint for garnish\n- Fun paper straws for decoration\n\n### Equipment\n- A glass gallon jar or pitcher\n- Ice cube tray\n- Blender or food processor (optional)\n\n![Hello6-min (14).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello6_min_14_b1261ca3dd.png)\n\n### How-To\n\nPlace all 8 tea bags into the glass gallon jar or pitcher and fill it up with room temperature water. Find a bright, sunny spot where your container can rest in the sun for 3 to 4 hours undisturbed. As the tea steeps, the color of the liquid will darken, letting you know that the flavors are deepening. Depending on the heat and sun exposure, you might need to leave it out in the sun a little longer.\n\nWhen the tea is finished, remove the tea bags and discard them. If you’d like, you can add honey or agave to mildly sweeten it, but remember that the natural flavor of the infused peach ice cubes will also add a little bit of its own sweetness and flavor. \n\nIf you have a blender or food processor, you can make a peach puree by combining 1 cup of water and 1 cup of diced peaches in the appliance and blending to your preferred consistency before pouring it into an ice tray. Alternatively, you can evenly distribute the diced peaches in each compartment. \n\nAdd your desired dosage amount of tincture to each piece of ice in the ice tray before putting it in the freezer. Remember that if you have 5 ice cubes per drink that your dosage will be times five. \n\nWhen the tea is finished, pour into a glass, add ice cubes, garnish with mint and paper straws and enjoy!\n\n### Get a Medical Marijuana Card Online\n\nIt's easy to get your medical marijuana document with the online [Telehealth service HelloMD](https://www.hellomd.com/get-started/).

Marijuana topicals provide a powerful dose of medication without the need to ingest cannabis directly and without the psychoactive side effects. Even with high levels  of  pain-fighting THC, topicals applied to the body do not enter the blood stream. The cannabinoids when absorbed into the epidermis bind to the endocannabinoid receptors in the skin providing localized pain relief.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nCannabis topicals may be the key accessing a wider audience, especially one that may be skeptical about its potential benefits. I find that when someone I know is unsure about using medical marijuana, cannabis topicals are a great place to start. Common stigmas against cannabis tend to dissolve out of peoples’ minds when they find such positive and unique relief from cannabis infused topical products without any of the negative side effects that are unfairly attached to marijuana. \n\nCannabis infused topicals are also a great alternative to other pain relief options, which often come with negative side effects. Many products also unnecessarily target the whole body, compared to topicals, which target pain on a localized basis. Topicals allow you to apply cannabis medication directly to the source of discomfort, be that from chronic pain, swelling, headaches, or cramping. Topical products are great at providing relief to people with conditions like arthritis or chronic back pain.\n\nRELATED: [MARINOL VERSUS CANNABIS: WHICH IS MORE EFFECTIVE?](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56267b443861380006e90000/marinol-versus-cannabis-which-is-more-effective)\n\nTopical products are easy to create on your own depending on your personal preferences and needs. You can create a topical with a cannabis strain based on the level of cannabinoids most appropriate to targeting your personal condition. CBD heavy strains, for example, are a great choice if you need to reduce inflammation. High THC strains, on the other hand, are a great choice for targeting chronic or acute pain. The first step in curating a personalized topical medication is to start with cannabis infused coconut oil. Cannabis infused coconut oil alone can be used as a topical, but you can also create s more customized cannabis salve through the addition of other skin loving ingredients like like olive oil and shea butter. \n\nHere is a simple recipe for creating a customized cannabis topical salve. \n\n### Ingredients\n\n* 1 cup cannabis infused coconut oil (medicate the coconut oil deepening on your own cannabinoid needs and desired strength - here is our recipe for [cannabis infused coconut oil](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56d69dde22efe4000b00004c/how-to-make-marijuana-coconut-oil-recipe))\n\n* 1/4 cup olive oil\n\n* 1/4 cup beeswax, shea butter, or cocoa butter\n\n* optional: essential oil of your choice (lavender is a great choice for calming effects, while tea tree and mint are both great for a more invigorating salve)\n\n### How-To\n\n1. Melt all ingredients over a double boiler except for essential oil \n\n2. Remove from heat and mix in essential oil\n\n3. Cool mixture until partially solidified\n\n4. Whip mixture with a hand or stand mixer until a smooth, whipped texture is achieved\n\n5. Place in desired container and cool completely\n\nYour salve can be customized to any strength that you need. Feel free to exchange the oils and butters in the recipe for products that work best for you. If you would like the salve to be vegan, make sure you avoid the beeswax and choose to use shea butter or cocoa butter instead. \n\nIf you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Simply add the appropriate dosage of CBD tincture and top with a spritz.   \n\nRELATED: [DIY RECIPE: HEMP CBD BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5b36bb6fbf4c4d000a0e7527/diy-recipe-hemp-cbd-blueberry-breakfast-smoothie)\n\n### Ingredients for CBD-Infused Lemonade Spritzer With Basil\n\n* 6–8 lemons\n* 1 cup sugar (option to substitute sugar with honey, maple syrup or preferred sweetener)\n* 5 cups water\n* 1 bunch basil\n* 1 cup seltzer\n* 1–3 tsp CBD tincture or CBD-infused honey*\n\n*Note:  Always refer to product packaging to infer correct dosage of each serving.  \n\n![](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/5994e65504d088060b25e2b9/embedded_images/5994e65804d088060b25e2ba/Screen_Shot_2017-08-16_at_5.40.51_PM.png)\nOur CBD lemonade spritzer is the perfect alcohol replacement.\n \n### How To Make CBD-Infused Lemonade Spritzer With Basil\n\n1.

The popsicles can also be medicated in a few different ways, either through the use of medicated coconut oil, medicated simple syrup,  or through the simple mixing of tincture into the popsicle mix.

One restaurant in California is getting a head start on the recreational cannabis market by offering their clientele a unique spin on the typical cocktail. Cafe Flore in San Francisco is offering cannabis-infused (hemp-derived) cocktails before cannabis becomes recreationally legalized in the state.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en) \n\nCafe Flore, an iconic Castro bar, is hoping to be on the forefront of cannabis infused food, drinks, and cocktails. Currently, they're mixing up cocktails made with a high quality hemp-derived CBD extract, which was formulated with the help of Chris Emerson, the co founder of [Level Blends](https://www.hellomd.com/biz/level) vape cartridges. Hemp based products, although derived from cannabis, don't contain THC, the mind altering cannabinoid for which marijuana is so well known for. \n\nThe owners of the cafe, Aaron Silverman and Terrance Alan, have enlisted the help of Chris Longoria, the bar manager at 1760 to create their new line of  CBD-infused cocktails. The cocktails also feature fragrant terpene oils, which help to compliment the unique flavor profiles from the specific strains of cannabis used to craft the drinks. Cafe Flore is on the cutting edge of the cannabis infused drinks, but if you can't travel to San Francisco to try these cannabis cocktails, you can still make your own.\n\nI find that having a great cannabis cocktail is one of the best ways to relax at the end of the day. I enjoy making my drinks with high CBD strains of cannabis to provide me with anti-inflammatory and anxiety-relieving benefits without any of the mind altering effects. One of the easiest ways to combine cannabis with your cocktails is through the creation of a simple syrup infused with the flower of your choice. \n\nDepending on your taste, select cannabis flowers that you enjoy, but be aware of the strength of the strain you're choosing and how that could affect the overall strength of your drink. High CBD strains are a great place to start with cannabis-infused drinks in order to gain a better understanding of how the combination of cannabis and alcohol can affect you. I personally like Electra-Tsu, ACDC and Harlequin as my preferred high CBD strains.\n\n### Make a Cannabis-Infused Simple Syrup\n\nIngredients:\n\n* 2 cups water\n* 1 cup honey\n* 4 grams of decarboxylated, ground cannabis\n* 1 tbsp of vegetable derived lecithin\n\nHow To:\n\n* Boil water in a saucepan.\n* Reduce the temperature of the water and dissolve honey in the water.\n* Add cannabis.\n* Reduce heat to around 160 degrees F.\n* Cover and allow to simmer for 30 minutes.\n* Reduce heat to low and add lecithin.\n* Cook for about 10 minutes while stirring .\n* Strain through cheese cloth into a bowl placed in another bowl full of ice.\n\nRecipe note: You can also use 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar to make the simple syrup if you'd rather make it with sugar instead of honey.\n\n### Recipe for Tropical Mule Cocktail\n\nHere is a recipe for a tropical inspired mule cocktail with a medicated twist. This drink is perfect to enjoy throughout the warm summer months to will help you calm down after a long day. A sip of this drink makes me feel like I am spending my evening in a tropical paradise. This recipe uses ginger simple syrup, which can be made by adding a 1-inch piece of peeled and sliced ginger to the recipe while making the cannabis-infused simple syrup. The ginger can be added to the syrup at the same time the cannabis is added. \n\nIngredients:\n\n* 2 handfuls of crushed ice (either made from water or coconut water)\n* 2 oz of cannabis-infused ginger simple syrup\n* 1 oz coconut cream\n* 1 oz lime juice\n* 1/2 oz orange juice\n* 1 oz dark rum\n* 4 oz sparkling water\n* Aromatic bitters (optional)\n\nInstructions:\n\n* Add all ingredients but bitters and sparkling water to a blender.\n* Blend until combined.\n* Pour into a glass and top with sparkling water. If using bitters, add a few dots on the top of the drink.\n\nThis recipe is just a starting place, feel free to try to infuse any of your favorite cocktail recipes with the help of cannabis-infused simple syrup.\n\nEnjoy.\n\nIf you're new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.
