Bhang

So I looked up the recipe but something seemed a little off, been in culinary arts so I figured... Why not kick it up a notch?

3 cups Whole Organic milk
1-3oz fine quality trimmings and those throw away buds
1/3 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
10-15 cloves by taste preference (I use 16 :))
1 tbsp of your favorite liquor or vanilla
1 cup boiling water

6 tbls sugar or more to taste (I like it spice and just enough sweet to cut the bitter)
In a pot place all the weed and pour half the milk with seasonings mixed in over that, let come to just before simmer and sit there mashing the living hell out of the green stuff. Took me 20 minutes to get it to a fine shredded state with a straight edge against the bottom of the pot. What ever you got will work. Do Not Pre-Grind The Trim You Will Loose So Much THC.
Let the milk come to the softest of simmers and keep there while stirring/mashing constantly for 20 mins. This is important. While you stir pour in the liquor or vanilla. Turn the heat down to low and stir until it stops bubbling. Let this sit for at least an hour on low, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't simmer again. Stir once in a while if you can be bothered ;)

Repeat step one, squeezing off all the milk with cheese cloth. This time do not let sit for an hour. Simply bring to a simmer over 20 mins while you stir and mash. The milk should be the same color as the first batch or close.

Pour off and now heat up the water.

When the water starts to boil plop your cheese cloth with drained plant matter in the water and press with the back of a spoon for a good 10-15 mins. Turn off the heat after 5 mins or so. The water should be a nice healthy green maybe with a sheen of oily residue over the top. This is the good stuff we missed with fat extraction. Oil might not bind to water, but hot water does strip oils off a plant :)

Pour everything back in the pot sans our cheese cloth ball of waste plant matter, be sure to squeeze out every little bit of water. You will notice at the end more and more of it is oil dripping off. The green stuff left over should be slightly damp but not enough to create a drop when you squeeze. I've got a grip strength of 150lb which did it. So get creative if you have trouble with such things, two upside down pans smashing the ball in between would do it.

Dissolve all the sugar and enjoy! It's potent so watch yourself and keep indoors or at least out any heavy machinery.

AWESOME! I want to try this. Since I'm a lazy American who does not relish the prospect of making plant material for hours on end, is there a way to trade grunt for time by adding more material?

If you enjoy liquor add about 1/4 cup instead of 1 tbsp. Will do you right in no time. More material is always welcomed of course. The hour would be cut down per oz over 4oz I would think by 15 minutes?:eyesmoke: Mainly it just takes some time for correct fat extraction when you are talking 4-6% milk fat.
The original recipes call for ghee (clarified butter), but I don't want that greasy feeling of drinking it. Others might not mind it.

The process still makes me scratch my head. How does it decarboxylize if it's wet the whole time? Does simmering boil off the alcohol?

When you ingest THC a different process happens. Also when milk simmers it's pretty darn hot making the fats mix homogeneously. As it cools the fats are more or less "together." You want the alcohol for the effect it has on your body on the cardiovascular level. All in all it's a powerful drink in my opinion. If you're wanting to decarboxylize the THC you can in the oven and within a turkey bag at 320f-380f? 20 mins does it I think? Correct me if I'm mistaken.

I've no idea, I'm trying to figure it out myself. I'm just going to have to give this a shot. Thanks again for sharing!

too much nonsense for me to care about.
but the saturation point is
27.4 mg/ml thc in 95% etoh
a tbsp is what 15ml?... more than enough for one dose..idk do some math

complete decarboxylation takes roughly an hr at 210° if watched visually depending amounts and surface area...doesnt matter if its in solution

the hotter you decarb the less delta 9 you end up with.

cbn starts to rapidly form around 400° avoid getting close


i love bhang, i wouldnt make it like this but to each their own. im sure its delicious..i dont care for any green taste though.


as always, i recommend coconut oil for best bioavailability

If you bother to point out a fault, be wise enough to give the honest answer. We need more full thoughts and less half truths. All I can say is a cup and a half of this stuff was wonderful.

1 tsp of your favorite liquor or vanilla: should be 1 tbsp*
(I like it spice and just enough sweet to cut the bitter): should be spicy*

If you can make that happen I would appreciate it as others will get confused.
