As summer arrives, it’s the perfect time to take advantage of the warm weather and spend some time outdoors. One great way to do this is by organizing a picnic with your friends, where you can all enjoy the sunshine while indulging in delicious food and drinks. The key to a successful picnic is to choose food that is easy to transport, not too messy to eat, and still tastes great even after being out in the heat (except for drinks, which can be kept in a cooler). While some people may opt for store-bought snacks like chips or pre-cut fruit, why not stand out by bringing something homemade that will impress everyone? Here are some ideas for tasty treats you can make and bring to a picnic, potluck, or any social gathering where sharing food is appreciated.
Pot Popsicles
For a refreshing and buzz-worthy treat, try making pot popsicles using cannabis-infused honey, fresh fruit, and lemonade. You can follow the recipe or get creative and use different juices or coconut water as a base, along with your favorite fruits. Just remember to keep them in a cooler so they don’t melt before everyone can enjoy them.
Kief Fried Chicken
Add a kick of heat and a little buzz to your picnic with kief fried chicken. Simply sprinkle some kief and chili powder on boneless chicken strips or party wings, and cook them up on the grill. For an extra flavor boost, add BBQ or teriyaki sauce.
Cannabis Mocktails
If you’re a fan of herbs, you’ll love these refreshing mocktails made with cannabis-infused lemon simple syrup. Try making a rosemary, cucumber, and cannabis-infused ginger beer, a cannabis-infused mojito, or a Thai basil and lime cocktail to help everyone stay cool. Just remember to pace yourself, as it can take 10-20 minutes for the effects to kick in and up to 45-90 minutes for the peak.
Melted Brie & Infused Apple Butter Baguette
For a quick and easy yet impressive dish, try this melted brie and infused apple butter baguette. With only four ingredients, it’s a fancy grilled cheese for adults. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can experiment with different combinations to find the perfect sweet and savory mix.
BLT & THC Sandwich
If you’re short on time, this BLT and THC sandwich is a convenient option that uses ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. Simply spread some canna-butter on the bread and prepare the sandwich as usual. Just be mindful of leaving out the mayo if it will be sitting in the sun for too long.
So next time you’re planning a picnic, consider bringing one of these delicious and unique treats to share with your friends. Not only will you impress them with your culinary skills, but you’ll also add a fun and unexpected twist to your outdoor gathering.
