Bhang thandai
Bhang thandai is a mildly intoxicating drink popular in many parts of the Indian subcontinent, which is made by mixing a small amount of bhang (cannabis leaves and buds) with thandai (with whole milk being used). The fat content of the milk and ground nuts help dissolve the fat-soluble cannabinoids.
Variations
Though Thandai refers to a traditional festival drink made with exotic spices and nuts, this versatile drink can also be prepared in many different ways.
