Recipes built around the same terpene story.
Cannabis Beef Bourguignon
A French country classic: beef braised low and slow in red wine with pearl onions, mushrooms, and bacon. An infused herb butter finishes each bowl with a warm, myrcene hum.
Cannabis Butter Coffee
Bulletproof-style butter coffee with infused ghee, cinnamon, and a myrcene-heavy 5 mg dose. Rich, frothy, golden-topped — the kind of morning that doesn't need breakfast because it already is one.
Cannabis-Infused Truffle Mac & Cheese
A grown-up take on the comfort classic: three cheeses, a hint of truffle, and an infused béchamel that melts into every elbow.
