Dear Stoner: I can’t get the thought of a THC-infused milkshake out of my head, but dispensaries don’t sell them. Of the options available, what is the best thing to buy at a dispensary to infuse a milkshake?
Sweet Sippin
Dear Sweet Sippin: The production and storage required for an infused milkshake probably isn’t worth the money for most cannabis businesses, but making one at home is very easy. And, thanks to all of that fat in milk and ice cream, milkshakes and malts are super-boosting vessels for THC, which loves to bind to fat cells.
Add rosin-infused simple syrup to a strawberry milkshake for a solventless treat.
Most pot shops should have several options to infuse drinks and food at home, from “flavorless” THC and CBD powder made with distillate to infused energy shots. But for blended drinks, look no further than infused syrup. You can find flavored and unflavored syrups infused with CO2 oil, distillate and rosin across Colorado, and most of them mix well with shakes. I recommend Dialed In’s unflavored rosin-infused syrup for the least-detectable flavor and best high, or Bosky if you’re looking for flavored syrup. Make sure that wrist is steady when pouring, though. Rosin edibles are heavy hitters.
