Infused Liquor with Ardent FX & ISI | Cannabis Cocktail Recipe
To decarb your cannabis, I always use my Ardent Decarboxylator. With its technically advanced, internal microprocessors always checking a myriad of precise temperature controls, the Ardent ensures that each decarb is absolutely perfect. No more burnt batches of very expensive cannabis in your oven. You may not know but your oven fluctuates in temperature, ruining your decarb. Something to keep in mind if you’ve struggled in this regard.
After your cannabis is decarbed, I add it to an ISI. The ISI is that wonderful invention which produces whipped cream. My ISI is the pro model, made of sturdy stainless steel. It can be gently heated (never more than 160 degrees F.) without worry of explosion, with liquor and weed inside. I use a double boiler for this process. Do not put it in the oven.
Add the decarbed cannabis to your ISI, as mentioned above, use at least an ounce of decarbed weed. Fill the ISI ½ way with Rhum Agricole-no more than that- there is a line inside to show you how far to fill your vessel. Cap tightly and charge with nitrous oxide, two cycles should do…shaking well and venting off the gas away from any flame. Do not breathe this for kicks, you won’t like the high.
Heat your double boiler to 160, or a very slow simmer… and place the ISI in this gradually bubbling water for about two hours. Let cool. Vent off any gases that build up from time to time- still inside the ISI during this activating process. Go slow.
Strain the THC infused Rhum Agricole through a fine sieve and add the THC infused Rhum to a sterilized bottle. It will not go to the top. Re-add (uninfused) Rhum Agricole over the infused Rhum Agricole. Swirl to combine. I like using higher gravity Rhum- over fifty percent alcohol for this mix.
