Starbucks Kiwi Starfruit Refresher With Weed

Over the weekend I treated myself to a delicious beverage, and then I decided to adapt it and make: Starbucks Kiwi Starfruit Refresher With Weed.

I can’t get over how juicy and tasty this Starbucks drink was – and for the price, it better taste good, right?

The decision was made quickly, that I could probably make a copycat drink at home, for a fraction of the price, and add in a little cannabis to make it ‘highly’ satisfying.

I did a little research, a lot of sipping and tasting, and I finally found the perfect refresher copycat drink.

First, you’ll need to make some cannabis tincture – which goes well in so many recipes and edibles!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 1 Ounce Cannabis decarbed
• 2 Cups Everclear (or other high proof alcohol)

Method

 

1. Place the decarbed cannabis in a plastic bucket
2. Crush the plant material using a stick of clean, untreated wood or any other similar device.
3. Continue to crush the cannabis, while adding 1 cup everclear until the plant material is completely covered and soaked. Stir the mixture for about three minutes. As you stir the mixture, the cannabinoids will begin dissolving off the plant into the solvent.
4. Strain the solvent mixture into another bucket. At this point, you have stripped the material of about 80% of its THC.
5. Repeat this process for the second wash. Again add 1 cup everclear to the plant material and work for another three minutes to extract the remaining THC.
6. Strain this new solvent mix into the bucket containing the first mix that was previously separated.
7. Discard the twice washed plant material.
8. Pour the solvent mixture through a coffee filter into a clean container.
9. Boil the solvent off in a safe environment. A rice cooker will boil the solvent off nicely. CAUTION: the solvent is flammable and the vapors toxic. Avoid stove-tops, red-hot elements, sparks, cigarettes, and open flames as the fumes can be extremely dangerous.
10. Add solvent to rice cooker and turn on heat. Make sure you are in a well-ventilated area and set up a fan to carry the solvent fumes away. If you can complete this step outside.
11. Continue to add mixture to cooker as the solvent evaporates until you have added it all to the cooker.
12. Continue to reduce the liquid until you have roughly 1 cup liquid left.
13. Place in a container or jar and let stand for at least 24 hours.

Ingredients for Starbucks Kiwi Starfruit Refresher With Weed

You’ll need a few things from the grocery store- but it’s super easy!

You’ll need to grab the best white grape juice you can find – I suggest going to an organic market and getting 100%.

• Fresh kiwis
• White grape juice (100% juice)
• Water
• Lime (optional)
• Green tea (optional, for caffeine)
• Cannabis Tincture

A great tip is pressing the juice from fresh kiwis with a citrus squeezer. You’ll get concentrated kiwi flavour and that gorgeous green hue.

If you don’t have a citrus squeezer you could blend kiwis in a blender and then strain the juice from the solids and seeds.
