Mota Canna Cocoa

Mota Canna Cocoa

An infused cocoa drink mix from Mota. A hot drink is one of the less common edible formats and it behaves slightly differently from a solid: it is consumed warm and on an emptier stomach than a chocolate bar usually is, which tends to make the onset a little more predictable.

Dosing a drink

The advantage is that the dose is measured out by the serving rather than estimated from a portion of something solid. The disadvantage is that a warm drink goes down quickly and easily — far more so than working through a bar — so decide on one serving and stop before you have finished thinking about it.

Preparation

Follow the package directions for liquid volume. Whole or fatty milk generally carries cannabis extract better than water, since cannabinoids are fat-soluble. Stir thoroughly — anything that settles at the bottom of the mug is dose you either miss or take all at once in the last mouthful.

Timing and storage

30 to 90 minutes to onset, then several hours. Keep the mix sealed, cool and dry, and stored away from children and pets — a cocoa tin is not an obvious cannabis product.
