Understanding Cannabis Infusions:

Once decarboxylated, the cannabis can be infused into fats like butter or oil, which will then be incorporated into our ice cream base.
Choosing Your cannabis:
The type of cannabis you choose will influence the flavor and potency of your ice cream. Indica strains are known for their relaxing effects,while sativa strains tend to be more energizing. Experiment with different varieties to find your perfect match.Remember, start with a low dosage and gradually increase as needed.

Vanilla and chocolate are timeless classics that pair beautifully with cannabis. For a more adventurous twist, consider incorporating other flavors like:
Fruity: Strawberry, raspberry, mango
Spicy: Cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne pepper
Herbal: Mint, basil, lavender
