Ingredients

Serves 2

• 2 cups of milk (or non-dairy alternative such as almond, oat, or coconut milk)
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar (or your preferred sweetener)
• 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• 1-2 doses of cannabis tincture (adjust based on your tolerance and desired effects)

Optional toppings: Whipped cream, marshmallows, cinnamon, chocolate shavings, or whatever fun toppings you want to add!

Instructions

1. Heat the Milk
   In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Stir frequently to avoid scalding. Warm until it’s just about to simmer but not boiling.
2. Mix the Cocoa
   Whisk in the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Stir until fully dissolved and smooth.
3. Melt the Chocolate Chips
   Add the chocolate chips to the saucepan and stir continuously until they are melted and incorporated. This gives the hot chocolate a velvety texture.
4. Add Vanilla and Tincture
   Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and your measured dose of cannabis tincture. Mixing off the heat ensures you preserve the cannabinoids.

Serve and Garnish
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or your favorite garnishes for an extra cozy treat.

Tips

• Start Low and Go Slow: If you’re new to cannabis, use a small dose to start. Effects may take up to an hour or more to fully kick in.
• Choose Your Tincture Wisely: Opt for a tincture with flavors that compliment chocolate, such as vanilla or caramel. 

Storage: If you have leftover hot chocolate, you can refrigerate it and reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.

This cannabis-infused hot chocolate pairs perfectly with a cozy blanket, your favorite movie, and a relaxing evening at home. Whether you’re enjoying it solo or sharing the experience with friends, it’s a perfect way to unwind and savor the season.

Sip. Relax. Repeat.
