What is cannabis milk – makumba? 🥛
Makumba is a cannabis-based drink that’s quite popular among cannabis enthusiasts. Primarily prepared from leftovers (sugar leaves, regular leaves, and even cannabis stems), often enriched with milk, this cannabis milk offers unique flavour experiences and distinct herbal effects. Unlike traditional consumption methods such as smoking or edibles, makumba allows for the use of plant parts that are often overlooked, making it a more economical choice.
It’s worth knowing that cannabis milk can also incorporate the condensate that builds up on various vaporiser parts during use. You can include all glass parts from your equipment in the infusion. However, it’s important not to use plastic elements.
This beverage is characterised by strong effects, which naturally depend on the THC content in the materials used. Makumba is prepared in a way that allows cannabinoids to dissolve effectively, which requires fat. Thanks to this, the drink not only delivers active substances but also offers a unique taste that can be adjusted to individual preferences.
Cannabis milk effects 🥴
Makumba’s effects are based on cannabinoid content, such as THC, which affects our body in specific ways. The drink also contains terpenes from the plant used in production.
After drinking cannabis milk, you may experience relaxation and mood improvement, making it an attractive option for those seeking natural relaxation methods. Additionally, euphoria and mood enhancement often occur. Makumba usually offers enhanced effects of the plant used in its production – the specific strain matters.
The effects here are similar to edibles. Therefore, one should expect rather unpredictable effects and high potency of cannabis milk. Dosing this drink is very challenging – it’s difficult to even estimate the approximate cannabinoid and terpene content in such a beverage.
Cannabis milk recipe 📜
Preparing makumba is simpler than it seems. The key ingredient is, of course, the cannabis plant. You can also add cannabis butter or other fat that will help extract cannabinoids from the plant. Simply combine cannabis leaves and stems with fatty milk, then heat on low heat. This process yields a beverage with intense effects and unique flavour that can be consumed hot or cold.
To prepare cannabis milk (makumba), you need a few ingredients and some patience. Here’s a recipe that will help you create this unique beverage based on user experiences – although you can find various approaches on internet forums.
Ingredients:
- 1 litre of high-fat milk (preferably above 3%)
- Cannabis leaves and stems, glass vaporiser elements with condensate, cannabis material (anything you want to use for the infusion – the more you use, the more intense the effects will be)
- 1/3 block of butter (can be cannabis butter)
How to make cannabis milk? 🧑🍳
Contrary to appearances, the whole process is really simple. However, it requires some patience, as cannabinoids and terpenes need time during cooking to release and bind with the fatty milk. What does the cannabis milk preparation process look like?
Various recipes and methods circulate on internet forums. But to sum it up, the preparation of cannabis milk itself is quite simple. The most popular recipe according to users, forums and opinions is as follows:
- Heating milk – pour a litre of milk into a pot and heat on medium heat until it starts to simmer.
- Adding cannabis – when the milk starts to simmer, add the cannabis leaves and stems. Mix thoroughly to combine ingredients.
- Adding butter – after a few minutes of cooking, add butter or cannabis butter. Stir until the butter completely melts.
- Cooking – reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil, as this may cause some of the milk to evaporate.
- Straining – after 30 minutes, strain the drink through a sieve or cheesecloth to remove plant residue and glass elements.
- Serving – it can be drunk hot or chilled in the refrigerator.
Among users, a popular opinion is not to exceed a dose of 1-2 glasses of the drink. According to reports, it can be potent – so it’s worth being cautious with dosing.
Cannabis milk is a great way to use cannabis, and thanks to the fat, cannabinoids are well absorbed by the body. Its potency depends on the ingredients used and their quantities.
It’s worth keeping in mind that you can also use cocoa in the cooking process. This will give the cannabis milk an even more interesting taste. It’s best to add it only in the final phase of preparation, at the very end.
How long does cannabis milk take to work? ⌛
The effects of makumba can be felt after about 30 minutes, however, this time may vary depending on individual body characteristics. In some cases, the “come-up” can take even many hours. The effects are related to the presence of THC, which is absorbed through the digestive system.
This means that the effects can be more intense and longer-lasting than smoking medical cannabis. Therefore, it’s important to start with small doses and observe your body’s reaction. The effects will be much more unpredictable than with smoking or vaporisation.
Cannabis milk – summary 🍀
Makumba is an interesting alternative to traditional methods of cannabis consumption, such as smoking or vaporisation. It offers unique taste experiences, and its preparation is simple and quick. Additionally, cannabis milk utilises the whole plant – including parts that are typically discarded.
Cannabis milk is an excellent way to use the plant’s full potential, but due to the difficulty in controlling potency, it’s best to start with small portions and observe your body’s reaction.

This drink can be compared to classic edibles. Nevertheless, the effects are much more unpredictable – mainly due to difficult-to-assess dosing, as the cannabinoid content is unknown.
