This Thai-inspired recipe is particularly interesting, as it requires you to combine condensed milk destined for your tea with cannabis butter. To make a pitcher of Thai cannabis ice tea, you begin by steeping six chai or black tea bags with ground cinnamon, cardamom, star anise and vanilla extract in boiling water. Granulated sugar can then be added for extra sweetness, along with a can of condensed milk before 4-5 tablespoons of melted cannabutter. This happiness-inducing beverage has notes of citrus and a zesty flavor profile, and makes for an excellent beverage for those warm days. The resulting beverage is creamy and delicious ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Cannabis-infused Beverages:** There is a growing trend in the cannabis industry towards infusing beverages with THC and CBD for a new and unique way to consume cannabis. - **DIY Cannabis Cooking:** As more people become comfortable with cannabis, there is a trend towards experimenting with homemade cannabis-infused recipes from beverages to baked goods. - **Cannabis as a Social Beverage:** As cannabis becomes more widely legalized, there is an emerging trend towards enjoying cannabis-infused beverages in social settings instead of traditional alcoholic beverages. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cannabis:** The cannabis industry is constantly evolving and presents opportunities for innovative businesses to offer new and unique products. - **Beverage:** The beverage industry is being disrupted by the addition of cannabis to traditional drinks, offering new and unique product offerings to consumers. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry has an opportunity to offer cannabis-infused beverages as a new and unique offering to their guests, providing a new way to experience cannabis in a social setting. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cannabis-Infused Iced Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teapot.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Iced Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boldt-drinks.md) - [Soothing Tea-Based Cannabis Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boston-beer-teapot-drink.md) - [Calming Evening Iced Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-evening-iced-tea.md) - [Citrusy Tea-Based Cannabis Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teapot-drinks.md) - [Relaxing THC-Infused Iced Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackberry-rooibos.md) - [Sweet Tea-Inspired Cannabis Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rebel-rabbit-teahc.md) - [THC-Infused Summer Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-beverages.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-infused-lemonade.md)
