It feels as though there are endless possibilities when it comes to the ways we can consume cannabis. From smoking to edibles and more, it just takes a little creativity and ingenuity to come up with the next method of cannabis consumption.

Whether you’re a cannabis connoisseur, a new recreational or a medicinal user, cannabis tinctures are great for any level of experience or expertise.

Cannabis tinctures, unlike canna-butter or canna-oil, can pretty much be used to infuse any food or drink you can think of!

What is a Cannabis Tincture?

Cannabis tinctures are alcohol-based cannabis extracts. They use a solvent (alcohol) to extract terpenes and cannabinoids like THC or CBD from the rest of the plant.

This method of consuming cannabis is steadily gaining the attention it deserves since there has been so much interest in alternative consumption in the last few years.

THC, CBD or an even mix of the two are the most common forms of cannabis tinctures available.

Infusing Foods With Cannabis Tinctures

Canna-butter or canna-oil are commonly used for baking because of their base. Since cannabis tinctures are alcohol-based, they can be easily added to any food or drink without completely changing the consistency or nature of the recipe. If you pair the right tincture with the right flavours, the taste of the tincture will be more subtle! Here are a few ways you can use cannabis tinctures to infuse your food:

Cannabis-Infused Smoothies

If you’re a smoothie lover, adding cannabis tincture to your healthy and delicious mix is so simple! Just add your desired dosage to your blender and you’re good to go. Here are a few smoothie recipes you can pair with Mota’s tinctures (we recommend ⅓ to 1 full dropper):

Cannabis-Infused Ice Cream

Ice cream is a classic munchies snack so it makes complete sense to combine the two. If you’re feeling more in touch with your inner master chef, you can try making ice cream from scratch, like this:

Or, you can simply add the tincture to your favourite brand of ice cream! Melt a bowl of ice cream just enough so that you can mix in the tincture and re-freeze it!

Cannabis-Infused Beverages

There is nothing easier than adding a few drops of tincture to a glass of your favourite juice or tea.

Cannabis-infused tea is gaining in popularity because of the many health benefits. If you have a huge collection of tea already and don’t necessarily want to buy more, just grab some tincture and add it to your favourite flavour of tea!

If you’re not a big drinker, but still want in on some fun cocktails, try adding some drops of tincture to a mocktail! Here are a few recipes for inspiration:

From tea, juice, mocktails and more, get creative with cannabis-infused beverages!

Other Cannabis-Infused Foods

If you don’t have much of a sweet tooth, cannabis tinctures are perfect if you want to try infusing savoury recipes or other meals.

You can use cannabis tinctures to infuse a variety of other foods like soups, salad dressings, condiments (BBQ sauce, ketchup) or even mashed potatoes – Thanksgiving dinner just got a lot more interesting.

Make sure you also clearly label and safely store any of your infused foods! You wouldn’t want to accidentally share a scoop of cannabis-infused ice cream with your grandma or have the little ones get their hands on it.
