As the season is nearing its end, make sure you try out these delicious recipes while the ingredients are still available and the weather is just right!

Strawberry Tincture Popsicles

Who doesn’t love popsicles? You can now turn these delicious treats into a healthy snack option. To attempt this recipe, you need:

• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 7 ounces coconut milk
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• A mold to make popsicles
• 1.5 cup fresh strawberries
• Cannabis tincture of your choice

Once you have gathered the listed ingredients, follow these steps:

• Wash the strawberries thoroughly and hull them
• Add the fruits to a food processor or a blender, until they reach a smooth and runny consistency.
• Ass 1 tbsp. sugar to the blender and run the blender/ food processor once more so that the sugar is mixed well.
• Grab a separate bowl to mix the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and another tablespoon of sugar.
• Add your preferred dose of CBD or THC tincture. You can add more than what you usually consume as it is going to be divided into six popsicles.
• So, for instance, if you want 10 mg CBD or THC per popsicle, then add 60 mg for six popsicles.
• Perform this step carefully – add a little of the strawberry mixture and then the coconut milk mixture. Keep alternating until the whole mold is filled.
• Add sticks and keep the mold in the freezer for four hours.

• Mix well so you do not have some servings with higher weed and others with close to none.
• Don’t heat the flower to more than 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
