#LunchWithLo Episode 22: Cannabis Infused Vegan Peppermint Mocha Creamer

This episode was a Facebook follower request that I just had to jump on. Infused coffee creamer. I decided to jazz it up and not just make a plain old creamer, but make a fall flavored favorite like Peppermint Mocha.

And since I'm extra nice, I even included a recipe below for pumpkin spice flavored creamer, despite my strong distate for PSL. I'm not going to bore you with a long winded explanation about why Peppermint Mocha creamer is tasty and good or why I picked it because I have a feeling you're really only here for the recipe and not my musings on the differences between peppermint and spearmint.

Ingredients

• 1 16 ounce can of whole fat coconut milk (or 2 cups of heavy cream)
• 1 cup of almond milk (or 1 cup of skim/low fat milk)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of Cocoa Powder

Method:

1. Decarb cannabis and infuse almond oil in a mason jar using the hot water bath method. 
2. Add both milks (dairy or nondairy) and get them warm enough to melt the dry ingredients. 
3. Once warm, add all other ingredients to pot and bring to a boil. 
4. Once boiling, bring down to a simmer and whisk the mixture continuously for 5 minutes. 
5. Strain out mint leaves and store in an airtight jar for up to a week in the fridge.
