Healing Benefits of the Ingredients

• Veda Warrior Infused Ghee Butter: Ghee is revered for nourishing the body and enhancing digestion, while also serving as an ideal carrier for cannabis. The infusion provides anti-inflammatory, calming, and mood-elevating effects.

• Cocoa Powder & Dark Chocolate: High in antioxidants, cacao supports cardiovascular health, uplifts mood, and nourishes the mind. It is grounding and heart-opening, making it a perfect companion to cannabis.

• Whole Milk & Heavy Cream: In Ayurveda, milk is a tissue builder and grounding food that balances excess heat and supports calm, stable energy. The fat content also enhances cannabinoid absorption.

• Cardamom: Soothes digestion, clears the mind, and balances the stimulating qualities of cacao and spices.

• Cinnamon: Warms the body, promotes circulation, and supports balanced blood sugar.

• Cayenne Pepper: Gently stimulates digestion and circulation; its heat can balance the heavy qualities of milk and cream.

• Vanilla: Adds a calming aroma and flavor that harmonizes the recipe’s grounding and uplifting effects.

Dosing Guidance

To adjust this recipe for larger batches: multiply ingredients accordingly and carefully portion your Veda Warrior ghee so that each serving delivers your desired THC dose. Always whisk or blend well to ensure even cannabinoid distribution throughout the batch.
