Cannabis-Infused Maple Syrup
Maple’s nutty, vanilla and spicy hints can liven up many classic recipes. We all love maple syrup on our waffles and pancakes, but this cannabis-infused all-natural sweetener can be used in a ton of different ways.
It makes a great ingredient in glazes, rubs or sauces for poultry, meat, seafood or vegetables. It also adds a subtle touch of sweetness to a range of dishes, from fresh fruit, cereal and ice cream to tea, coffee and smoothies. Bartenders and cocktail connoisseurs substitute maple syrup instead of simple syrup to get a richer flavour in classic cocktails.
