Pumpkin spice lattes are a quintessential fall beverage, and when you add a THC twist, you create the perfect morning pick-me-up for October. This THC-Infused Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee recipe combines rich coffee flavor with warm pumpkin spices, making it a delightful and relaxing start to your day.

Ingredients:

For the Iced Coffee:

• 1 cup brewed coffee (cold or room temperature)

• 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

• 1-2 tablespoons THC-infused simple syrup or cannabutter (see below for making THC simple syrup)

• 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Milk or cream (to taste; dairy or non-dairy options work)

• Ice cubes

• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

• Extra pumpkin pie spice (for garnish)

For the THC-Infused Simple Syrup:

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup water

• 1-2 grams of decarboxylated cannabis (adjust according to desired potency)

Instructions:

1. Make the THC-Infused Simple Syrup:

1. Decarboxylate Cannabis: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread your cannabis on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes. This process activates the THC.

2. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and decarboxylated cannabis. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Simmer: Let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Strain: Remove from heat and strain the syrup through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to remove the plant material. Allow it to cool before storing it in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

2. Prepare the Iced Coffee:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a large glass, combine the brewed coffee, pumpkin puree, THC-infused simple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are fully blended.

2. Add Milk or Cream: Add milk or cream to your desired creaminess and sweetness level.

3. Fill with Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes.

3. Top and Garnish:

• If desired, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for a festive touch.

Serving and Dosage:

• Serving Size: This recipe makes one large serving of iced coffee. You can adjust the amount of THC-infused simple syrup based on your desired potency. Start with a smaller amount, especially if you are unsure of your tolerance.

• Dosage Awareness: Keep in mind that the potency of your THC-infused simple syrup will depend on the amount of cannabis used and its THC content. For beginners, it’s best to start with a lower dose and wait at least 1-2 hours to gauge the effects before consuming more.

Storage:

• Store any leftover THC-infused simple syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It can be used in other drinks, desserts, or recipes.

Conclusion:

This THC-Infused Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee is the perfect blend of flavors for October, combining the cozy essence of fall with a relaxing twist. Enjoy it as a delightful morning boost or an afternoon treat, and remember to consume responsibly!
