Equipment

  • Small mixing bowls
  • Whisk or hand blender
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • 8 oz glass bottle with a tight-fitting lid
  • Measuring spoons and pipette

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Cannabis infused oil
  • 10 drops Ginger essential oil
  • ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper Oil (or powdered cayenne in carrier oil)
  • 2 oz Jojoba oil (or sweet almond oil)
  • 2 oz Olive oil
  • 10 drops Vitamin E oil
  • 5 drops Black pepper essential oil
  • 5 drops Lavender essential oil

Instructions

🧴 Prepare the Base Oils

  • Infuse the Oils:
  • If using cayenne powder, mix 1/2 teaspoon of powdered cayenne with 2 oz (60 mL) of olive oil and let it sit in a warm place for about 24 hours.
  • Strain before use to remove the solids.
  • If using cayenne oil, skip this step and move on to the next.

🧴 Combine Remaining Ingredients

  • In a small bowl, mix cannabis-infused oil, jojoba oil, and olive oil.
  • Add ginger essential oil, cayenne oil, black pepper oil, and lavender essential oil into the mixture.
  • Stir well.
  • Add 10 drops of vitamin E oil to act as a preservative and for its skin-nourishing properties.

🧴 Mix & Bottle

  • Stir the oils together thoroughly to create a uniform blend.
  • You can also use a small whisk or hand blender for better emulsification.
  • Pour the finished massage oil into an 8 oz (240 mL) glass bottle with a secure lid.

Betsy’s Infusion Notes:

📝 Cayenne Oil: For a more concentrated cayenne effect, use cayenne essential oil instead of powder-infused oil. You can buy cayenne oil or make it by infusing powdered cayenne into olive oil and straining it after 24 hours.
📝 Cannabis Infused Oil: You can use a CBD oil as an alternative if you don’t want the THC effects. If you’re infusing your own cannabis oil, ensure that it’s properly decarboxylated (heated at low temperature to activate cannabinoids).
📝 Caution with Cayenne: If your clients have sensitive skin or allergies, do a small patch test before using. Cayenne can cause irritation in some people.
📝 Storage: This oil should last for 6 months when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
📝 Therapeutic Benefits
This Ginger-Cayenne Cannabis Massage Oil is ideal for professionals treating clients with muscle pain, chronic inflammation, or poor circulation. The warming effects of ginger and cayenne enhance blood flow, while cannabis provides calming relief. Perfect for therapeutic massages focused on relieving muscle stiffness or stress.

🍴Pro Tip #1

Dosage Tolerance (tap here to read more…)

Remember, everyone’s cannabis dosage tolerance is different. Only you know your tolerance preferences, so listen to your body. If you do not know where to start, go low and start slow!

Below each recipe card (this recipe included!) are Betsy’s recommended calculators that are the most helpful to calculate your final cannabis dosage!

Some people choose to start out by measuring their tolerance levels by eating a pre-dosed gummy purchased from their local dispensary. Typically, a standard gummy should be approx. 10 milligrams per piece. If you eat a whole gummy and it is too potent, start by micro-dosing your meals under 10 mg per serving. If you eat a whole gummy and it is not enough, increase your per serving potency to over 10 mg per serving.

🍴Pro Tip #2

Microwaves & Cannabis (tap here to read more….)

NEVER microwave a cannabis infused food item. The microwave will zap and kill any positive cannabinoid effects.

🍴Pro Tip #3

Infusion-Versatile Recipes (tap here to read more…)

All recipes are infusion-versatile. You do not have to infuse any recipe for excellent results. All recipes can be made without any cannabis infusion at all. You choose whether your meal will be a virgin non-infused meal, a cannabis micro-dosed meal, or a full-bodied cannabis infused meal.

🍴Pro Tip #4

Dynamic User Input (tap here to read more…)

All recipe cards are dynamic! You can adjust the serving sizes, toggle the recipe to “cook mode” so your screen does not go dark while you are preparing food, rate the recipe with stars, save the recipe to your own personal recipe box (if you are a member), add personal notes to each recipe card and create your next shopping list based on your weekly meal planning that can be managed in your recipe box and more!

🍴Pro Tip #5

Combine Multiple Infused Staple Ingredients in one Dish! (tap here to read more….)

Each recipe card provides recommended cannabis infusions. Choose one staple ingredient infusion method or choose several infused ingredients (including tossing in some flower for garnish) to create culinary art perfected to your desired potency in your own kitchen! Use our Mix ‘n Match Potency Calculator if you are trying multiple ingredient infusion methods for one recipe.

Introduction to our Calculators

Below you will find one or more calculators inserted into this post applicable to the above recipe. Before you get started, here are some helpful tips on how to maximize our calculators throughout Grass with Class. Click on the 🤖 Bot Headlines 🤖 below to expand explanations to maximize every aspect of Grass with Class: Cooking with Cannabis.

🤖 How do I read my flower label? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓.

🕵Look at the Potency Percentage Profile on your Flower Label. Depending on the dominancy of the flower (CBD or THC) there will be a line that says either THCA% or CBDA%.
🕵Look for the letter “A” at the end of THC or CBD line item on the label. This is the raw, non-decarboxylated originating estimated potency for your newly purchased flower. Search for the line item on your label that says either “THCA” or “CBDA” depending on the dominant flower you are using. The numbers for this line item will be in the format of two digits a decimal point and two more digits.
👉💡 For example “CBDA 15.75% or THCA 18.72%”. Enter your label percentage into the calculator fields that call for flower label deets.

🤖 Wait, What? A Flower Label? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

If you have “lost” your label 😉, your flower THCA% or CBDA% will range roughly between 15.00% to 25.00%.
👉💡 If you know the strain of your flower, you can look up the general cannabanoid profiles that are typical for that particular strain such as Bubba Kush or Terple Purple. If you have lost your label and you do not know the flower strain, your guess is as good as ours! 🫠
👉💡 If you cannot identify your flower strain type, Betsy Bot recommends that you enter the “ceiling” or highest estimated percentage of 25.00%. per mg/g of flower. Enter this into the calculator fields that call for flower label deets.
👉💡Remember, you can always consume more but you cannot consume less.

🤖 Decarboxylate? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

📌ALL of our Potency Form Calculators assume that you intend to OR already have DECARBOXYLATED your flower. If you do not know how to decarboxylate your flower, Betsy Bot or our FAQs can help you with this step before moving on to your staple ingredient infusion.
👉💡You may notice that the potency of your flower goes down when you decarboxylate, HOWEVER, the bio-availability of flower benefits go UP when you decarb your flower.
👉🧬The decarbed flower bioavailability provides a much better experience for the diner as well as maximizes the medicinal benefits of the flower itself.

🤖 Measuring Flower 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

🌿🌳Our calculators help you determine the approximate milligrams of potency per one (1) Gram of Flower Weight.🌳🌿
📌NOTE: A scale is extremely helpful to weigh your flower plant matter. Kitchen scales and jewelry scales (for micro-dose measurements) are recommended for this PFC.
👉💡Determining your starting milligrams calculation works for both CBD and THC Dominant Flower.

🤖 Flower Weight Guide 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

⚖ 1/8 ounce of Flower = 3.5 grams in weight
⚖ 1/4 ounce of Flower = 7 grams in weight
⚖ 1/2 ounce of Flower = 14 grams in weight
⚖ 1 whole ounce of Flower = 28 grams in weight

🤖 Play Tips 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

🤹PLAY with different flower weights in this calculator until you find the dose you want.
👉💡 For example: If you want to use your herb garnish for 5 servings at 10 mg per serving then your batch of ground flower buds needs to equal at least 50 mg of CBD or THC total, depending on flower dominancy.
👉💡FORMULA: 50 / 5 = 10

🤖 Plan Ahead 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

If you are going to use a Primary or Secondary Staple Ingredient infusion to infuse another treat or meal, plan ahead and make sure your Primary or Secondary Staple Ingredients are potent enough to withstand levels of dilution for your next infusion creation. Your portion potencies will become diluted in larger batch incorporations.
Examples of planning ahead include:
👉💡 adding infused sugar to a batch of cookies
👉💡 incorporating maltodextrin powder into a cake mix
👉💡adding infused honey to sweet & sour sauce
👉💡making deviled eggs with mayonaise

🤖 A Note on Labels 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

📌 DO NOT FORGET! Make SURE to label your final infusion! The more experienced you become with infusions, the more you will rely on your labels for meals and treats!

📌An example of a final label to stick to your zip lock bag or Tupperware container when using CBD or THC Dominant Flower will look like this:
366.52 mg CBD or THC for entire batch
22.91 mg CBD or THC per Tablespoon portion.
