Indian Bhang Recipe
Bhang is a preparation from the leaves and flowers (buds) of the female cannabis plant, smoked or consumed as a beverage in the Indian subcontinent.
Ingredients
- 3 grams (1/8 ounce) butter
- 2 cups milk
- 1-2 grams of hash or cannabis
- pinch of spice (cinnamon or nutmeg, depending on your tastes)
Directions
Melt butter in pan, add ground cannabis and simmer for one minute, then add milk. After gently warming, add any additional spices you’d like. We suggest cinnamon, nutmeg, or honey. For an added punch, toss in some vodka.

I think my buddy made that a few times. Pretty good stuff, for sure. He dried and ground leaves from a previous harvest and threw them in with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Am I really breaking this site’s comment cherry?
Yes, indeed you are. Thanks for stopping by and commenting JR!
how many servings is this recipe for?
That all depends on you Debbie. It’s plenty enough to share with a friend, but not too much to bogart all to yourself.
*its supposed to be a sweet drink*. also traditionaly they dont melt the butter like you would if makin brownies. they actually make a paste out of leaves stems etc
also no alcohol because its drank on a religious day called “holi”
gotta be careful cause it hits you faster than edibles since it is liquid(absorbs faster)
have seen people halucinate off it!!
gluck
I use this recipe minus the butter but with 2% milk which I heat to absolute boiling point, where it begins to rise up in the saucepan.
I take it off the heat and immediately add the cannabis, stir and put it into a heated thermos. I leave it for 24 hours, then put it in a glass jar in the fridge. It lasts me for 5 nights. I use this every night for pain and to help me sleep. It DOES get me really stoned and I have been using it for 2 years.
Does anyone else here suffer from eye problems with pot use? My left eye is very dry and the lid almost feels as though it sticks to the eyeball. Any ideas on this problem. Don’t know if it is the pot or something else.
Thanks for commenting, Jean. Glad to hear you are able to find relief from your pain. As for dry eyes, they seem to be a common complaint amongst cannabis users. I’d try some kind of eye moisturizing relief drops and see if that helps.
i use regular old clear eyes, its worked well for me for over 15 years
The female strain is the one that is smoked, correct?
yeah females contain all the terrific THC and other cannabinoids =]
Both do, the males are just seed-y so less desirable.
Male cannabis plants do not have seed, not ever. Female plants produce buds and male plants produce pollen, not seeds, not ever. You get seeds when the pollen from the male plant touches the pistols(the hairs) on your female plant. One more point, cannabis plants do not have strains, they have varieties, just like other plants. A virus or mold can be a strain, not a plant. Please, please just read and learn something, then try and tell others
no, seedy weed comes from a female plant that has been fertilized by a male plant. male plants do not produce thc, and only serve to pollenate the females.
do you not recommend straining? I use a similar variation, yet strain it and add cinnamon, cocoa powder, and kahlua/baileys/vodka. I dont really consider it bhang though, more like “pot chocolate” or “pot cocoa”
Settling down on New Year’s eve with a mug all to myself, Happy holidays folks!
