Welcome to the Indigo Dispensary culinary corner, where the art of cooking meets the science of cannabis. Today, we’re bringing the joy of making edibles right into your kitchen with simple, mouthwatering recipes that you can whip up with ease.
Say goodbye to the complexities of decarboxylating your own flower, as we showcase how to use our high-quality concentrate products to infuse your meals, snacks, and drinks with a touch of cannabis.
Getting Started: What You Need to Know
When you begin cooking with cannabis, understanding the potency of concentrates is essential. At Indigo Dispensary, the concentrates we offer are precisely crafted to ensure a consistent experience. But remember, the golden rule of cooking with cannabis is ‘start low and go slow.’ Begin with a smaller dose than you think you need, especially if you’re new to cannabis edibles. It’s easier to add more than it is to manage the discomfort of overconsumption.
Equally important is storing your cannabis-infused creations. Treat them like any other medication: label them clearly and store them out of reach and sight of children and pets. Consider a lockable storage option for maximum safety, ensuring peace of mind.
Lastly, be patient. Unlike inhaling cannabis, edibles take time to kick in, sometimes up to two hours. So, wait a while after your first taste before deciding if you need more. This patience will pay off with a pleasant and controlled experience, allowing you to enjoy the culinary delights that cannabis can offer.
Meal Ideas with Cannabis Concentrates
Transform your everyday dishes into gourmet creations with the simple addition of cannabis concentrates from Indigo Dispensary. Our products are perfect for infusing a touch of culinary magic into your meals, whether you’re a novice in the kitchen or a seasoned chef.
Savory Cannabis-Infused Butter for Any Dish
Let’s begin with the basics: a rich, infused butter. Melt unsalted butter over low heat, blending in your chosen cannabis concentrate until fully dissolved. This golden elixir can elevate dishes from the mundane to the extraordinary. Imagine slathering your morning bagels with this butter, or using it as the secret ingredient in your garlic bread. The possibilities are endless, and the process, delightfully simple.
Zesty Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil
Our cannabis concentrates are also perfect for creating an infused olive oil that will add a buzz to your dressings and dishes. Blend the concentrate with extra virgin olive oil and your choice of herbs—think basil, rosemary, or thyme—for an aromatic touch. Use it to marinate chicken, drizzle over a roasted vegetable medley, or simply dip your artisan bread as a classy appetizer.
Gourmet Cannabis-Infused Pasta Sauce
Elevate your pasta night with a cannabis-infused marinara sauce. Start with your favorite homemade or store-bought sauce, gently warm it up, and stir in your cannabis concentrate. Let it simmer so the flavors can marry. Serve over a bed of al dente pasta, sprinkle with parmesan, and you’ve got a comforting dish with an extra layer of depth.
Sweet & Savory Cannabis Glaze
For an innovative twist, create a cannabis glaze to brush onto meats before grilling. Combine our concentrate with honey, soy sauce, and a hint of garlic for a sweet and savory profile that caramelizes beautifully over a flame, perfect for barbecue days.
By incorporating cannabis concentrates into your meals, you’re not just enhancing flavors—you’re also ensuring a controlled, consistent dose of cannabis in every bite. Plus, you’re saving time without compromising on the delectable results that make every meal a special occasion.

Sweet & Salty Cannabis Popcorn
Elevate your snack game with our gourmet sweet and salty cannabis popcorn. Begin by popping your kernels in a pot or air-popper. Once popped, drizzle the fluffy popcorn with our silky, cannabis-infused butter, ensuring each kernel gets a touch of the infusion. Sprinkle with just the right amount of sugar and a generous pinch of sea salt to create a taste sensation that dances between sweet and savory. Give it a good shake in a paper bag or a bowl with a lid for an even coating that will make your taste buds sing.
Cannabis-Infused Guacamole
Our cannabis-infused guacamole is a twist on a classic that’s sure to impress at any gathering. Start with ripe avocados, mashing them to creamy perfection. Stir in fresh lime juice to add zing, then fold in diced tomatoes, crisp chopped onions, and a generous handful of fresh cilantro for that herby punch. The secret ingredient? A well-measured dose of our premium cannabis concentrate. It melds seamlessly with the rich flavors of the guacamole, adding an extra layer of enjoyment without overpowering the dish. Serve it with a platter of crunchy tortilla chips or fresh veggies for dipping.
Chocolatey Cannabis Trail Mix
For those with a sweet tooth, mix up a chocolatey cannabis trail mix. Blend nuts, seeds, and dried fruits of your choice with dark chocolate chips. Once you have your mix, lightly coat it with a cannabis-infused syrup—made by heating sugar, water, and our concentrate until combined—then bake it low and slow until the mix is dry. This snack is not only delicious but also packs a punch of energy and the mellow vibes of cannabis.
Cannabis-Infused Hummus
For a Mediterranean flair, prepare a smooth cannabis-infused hummus. Blend chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor. Once smooth, add a dash of our concentrate and blend again for a homogenous mix. Garnish with paprika and a drizzle of olive oil. It’s perfect for smearing on pita bread or as a dip for an assortment of fresh vegetables.
By incorporating cannabis concentrates into your snack recipes, you ensure each bite is a well-balanced blend of flavor and the desired cannabis effects. Remember to label your edibles clearly and keep them separate from non-infused snacks. Enjoy these delectable bites responsibly, and savor the unique twist they bring to your culinary creations.
Refreshing Cannabis Drinks to Sip On
Expand your beverage repertoire with our delightful cannabis-infused drinks. Perfect for any time of day, these recipes provide both refreshment and relaxation in every sip.
Cannabis Golden Milk Latte
Our golden milk latte is a soothing concoction, blending the healing spices of turmeric and black pepper with the sweet comfort of honey. Start by gently warming your choice of milk. Whisk in a teaspoon of turmeric and a pinch of black pepper, known for its ability to increase turmeric’s absorption. Sweeten with honey to taste, then stir in a discreet amount of our high-quality cannabis oil. The result is a creamy, spiced latte that not only soothes the soul but also brings a tranquil edge to your evening wind-down routine.
Cannabis-Infused Lemonade
Nothing beats a classic lemonade on a warm day, and our cannabis-infused version adds a modern twist. Begin by preparing a simple syrup on the stove, dissolving sugar into water. Allow it to cool, then add a precise dose of our cannabis concentrate. In a large pitcher, squeeze fresh lemons until you have the perfect tartness, mix in the cannabis simple syrup, and top with cold water. Add in ice cubes, garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves, and stir to combine. This lemonade is not just a thirst-quencher—it’s a conversation starter.
Herbal Cannabis Iced Tea
Brew up a batch of your favorite herbal tea and let it cool. Once at room temperature, stir in our cannabis concentrate until it’s fully integrated. Pour over ice and sweeten with honey or agave nectar to taste. Add a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of cucumber for an extra refreshing touch. This iced tea is perfect for sipping in the sunshine or as a novel addition to a brunch spread.
Cannabis-Infused Smoothies
For a healthful twist, blend up a cannabis-infused smoothie. Combine fresh fruits like bananas, berries, or mango with a handful of greens, some yogurt, and a splash of juice or almond milk. Add in a measured amount of cannabis concentrate for an invigorating drink that nourishes the body and elevates the spirit.
These cannabis-infused beverages are designed to be enjoyed slowly, savoring the unique flavors and the gentle calm they bring. As with all edibles, start with a small serving to assess your tolerance and enjoy responsibly. Whether it’s the warming embrace of golden milk latte or the cool zest of lemonade, these drinks are a perfect way to introduce a touch of bliss to your day.
