This bright and creamy infused Lemon Posset recipe offers a delicious way to wind down while honoring the Ayurvedic principle that food can be both indulgent and medicinal. With its roots in traditional English cooking, the posset is a simple, elegant dessert made by curdling sweetened cream with citrus juice. In this version, we use Veda Warrior’s infused ghee butter to add a layer of richness while delivering a gentle cannabis microdose in every spoonful. Ghee is revered in Ayurveda for its ability to nourish tissues, enhance digestion, and act as a carrier for medicinal herbs—including cannabis.
Perfect for soothing the nervous system and elevating mood, this dessert is a subtle yet effective way to integrate cannabis into your wellness-centered diet.

Pour the strained posset into small serving cups, ramekins, or halved and hollowed lemons for an extra citrusy presentation.

Healing Benefits of the Ingredients
Veda Warrior Infused Ghee
Ghee is a deeply nourishing fat that enhances digestion, calms inflammation, and improves absorption of fat-soluble nutrients and herbal actives like THC. In Ayurveda, it is considered a powerful anupan—or carrier—for medicinal substances. Ghee also supports mental clarity, memory, and reproductive health.
Heavy Cream
Cream is grounding and sweet in nature. It supports tissue building and is often used in Ayurveda for individuals with dryness or depleted vitality. It adds richness to the dish and helps buffer the sharpness of citrus.
Sugar
In moderate amounts, sugar acts as a quick source of energy and, when balanced with fat, can be grounding and rejuvenating. In this recipe, it supports the flavor while being tempered by the acidity of lemon and the stability of ghee.
Lemon Juice & Zest
Lemon is light and detoxifying. It supports the liver, stokes digestive fire, and clears stagnation. The zest contains essential oils that brighten mood and support digestion.
Salt (optional)
A pinch of salt can enhance digestive capacity and amplify the overall flavor of the dessert. Salt also helps bring out the subtle citrus notes and balances the sweetness.
Fresh Berries / Edible Flowers (Garnish)
These optional garnishes are rich in antioxidants and serve both an aesthetic and nutritional function. Berries in particular are supportive for heart and skin health.
