Recipes built around the same terpene story.
Butter Chicken with Cannabis Naan
Tandoori-spiced chicken in a velvety tomato-cream sauce, served with naan brushed in cannabis herb butter. Caryophyllene amplifies the black pepper, cumin, and garam masala in every bite.
Cannabis Espresso Martini
A bold espresso martini built on caryophyllene logic — dark roast, coffee liqueur, a 5 mg canna-butter wash, and three beans for luck. This is the after-dinner drink that makes dessert unnecessary.
Cannabis French Onion Soup
A deep, mahogany broth built on hours of caramelized onions, finished with a cannabis-infused Gruyère crouton. Caryophyllene's warm spice mirrors the black pepper and bay leaf in the broth.
