The cannabis you will need to make the lemonade must be a tincture. A tincture is simply a cannabis concentrate, the plant is soaked in alcohol. That extracts the cannabinoids.
Here are the ingredients you need to make the tincture (50ml):
• Grain alcohol with an alcohol percentage of 90% (or the strongest alcohol you have available)
• Cannabis: 3-4g buds, 8-10g leaves, 0.5-1g hashish, or 5g cutting waste
• Blender
• Pot with lid
• Sieve or colander
• Funnel
• Cheese cloth
• Brown medicine vials with a pipette
• Measuring cup
To begin with, you must chop up all cannabis and provide decarboxylation. For the layman, this means that the cannabis must be heated to 115 ° C for 30-35 minutes. Put the cannabis in the pot after decarboxylation and add 50ml of alcohol. Put the lid firmly on it and then mix everything together shakingly.
Let the mixture draw for five days so that the cannabinoids are extracted by the alcohol. Then you can filter the mixture above the measuring cup. Use the cheese cloth for this so that all superfluous vegetable matter is filtered out.
After you have done that, pour the final product into the medicine bottles. Use the funnel for this. For the further preparation of the lemonade, you need three teaspoons of tincture.
The other ingredients and things you need to make the lemonade are:
• 1.35 l cold water
• 450ml fresh lemon juice (8-10 lemons)
• 225g of sugar
• Large jug or can
• Measuring cup
• Citrus press
The first step in this process is pressing the lemons that you have. You can do that with an electric citrus press, saving you some time. But if you like old-fashioned craftsmanship, you can use a manual. If that is not to eat, pour the lemon juice into the lemonade jug. You can easily add the pulp if you want. Make sure that there are no seeds in your lemonade.
Second is the sugar. If the mixture is still too sour, add a few tablespoons of sugar. If it is too sweet, you can add the juice of half a lemon and a small pinch of salt.
During the third step you add the tincture. That is why it is so convenient that you have put your tincture in medicine vials; with the pipette you can dose very accurately. Then stir everything together so that all ingredients dissolve well and are mixed. Put the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least three hours.
