Cannabis wines have been a popular addition to alcohol as of late, mixing two different mind-altering substances into one concoction. This DIY recipe instructs those that are curious about the beverage how to make it at home.
Inspired by products by founding farmer of Greenway Lisa Molyneux, this homemade recipe is a large-scale process that can take several months to properly ferment. The process begins with using a DIY wine kit and then adding a pound of cannabis into the fermenting wine cask. The fermentation process infuses the cannabis into the alcohol by extracting the THC into the liquid after the sugar from grapes has converted into alcohol. Allegedly the process takes over nine months till it is consumable and will need to be strained before being bottled.
