Cannabis Infused Carrot Juice: 3 Health Benefits

How to Make Cannabis Infused Carrot Juice

Step 1: Prep the Carrots

Peel and cut your carrots, then soak them in water for 15–30 minutes before juicing. This is an important step — soaked carrots are less likely to clog a slow juicer and yield significantly more juice than dry carrots fed straight in.

Step 2: Juice the Carrots and Ginger

Run the soaked carrots and the ginger nub through a slow (masticating) juicer. A slow juicer preserves more nutrients than a centrifugal juicer. Budget models work fine for occasional use — just make sure to set up a collection cup for the juice and a catch for the pulp before you start. The pulp can be saved for baking or composted.

Step 3: Hand-Juice the Oranges

Cut the oranges in half and hand-juice them using a citrus press. Remove any seeds before adding the juice. Add the orange juice to your carrot-ginger base and stir. If the glass is already full, pour off a portion of the carrot juice first to make room.

Step 4: Add the Cannabis Tincture

Measure about 1ml of cannabis juice with tincture using a dropper or syringe for precision. Add it directly to the drink and stir well. At approximately 30mg of THC per 1ml, this is a moderate dose for experienced consumers — start lower if you are new to edibles. The carrot, orange, and ginger flavors completely mask any tincture taste. You will not notice it at all.

Step 5: Add Ice and Enjoy

Drop in an ice cube, give it a final stir, and drink. The cannabis infused carrot juice onset will follow the same timeline as any other edible — 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on your metabolism and whether you have eaten recently. Pace yourself accordingly.

Tips for Storing Cannabis Tincture

Store cannabis tincture in dark glass bottles (wine bottles work great) with pressure caps in the refrigerator. Cool, dark storage dramatically extends shelf life. Tincture stored properly can last well over a year with minimal potency loss. Keep it away from heat, light, and air.
