Rasgulla ingredients
- 1 liter full-fat milk
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cannabis-infused ghee (clarified butter)
Cannabis-infused syrup ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cannabis tincture or cannabis-infused ghee
Instructions
-
Prepare the cottage cheese by warming the milk in a large pot over medium heat until it starts to boil. Once the liquid is boiling, lower the heat and add the lemon juice.
-
Keep stirring the milk until it curdles and the whey separates from the solids. .
Line a fine mesh strainer or colander with 2-3 layers of cheesecloth, and use it to drain the liquid from the curdled milk. Then rinse those pieces under cold running water to eliminate any remaining traces of lemon flavor.
Once you’re done, pull the edges of the cheesecloth together and squeeze the curds gently to remove the excess water.
Tie the cheesecloth up with a string while keeping the curdled milk inside, and hang it to dry for 30 minutes.
Transfer the cheese to a plate and knead it by hand for a few minutes, or until it reaches a smooth and lump free consistency.
Split the cottage cheese into 6-8 similar sized portions, and use your hands to roll them into round spheres. Set the balls aside for now.
Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a deep pan, then add the granulated sugar and stir until it completely dissolves.
Lower the heat to a simmer, and then carefully drop each of the cheeseballs into the syrup, one at a time.
Cover the balls in the pan with a lid, and leave them to cook for 15 minutes, or until the rasgulla doubles in size and spongy.
Now it’s time to make the cannabis-infused syrup so get out a clean pan, add the water and sugar to it, and then bring this mixture to a boil.
Frequently stir the syrup until the granules dissolve, then remove the pan from the heat before adding your preferred cannabis infused ingredient.
Stir the potent addition into the mixture well, until you’re certain it’s been evenly distributed throughout the syrup.
Remove the cooked rasgulla from the first pan and carefully place them in the freshly made cannabis infused syrup.
Let the rasgulla soak in the syrup for at least 30 minutes, before transferring it to a bowl and leaving it to chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
Serve the chilled cannabis infused rasgulla with a pinch of pistachios or saffron strands for added flavor and visual appeal. We hope you enjoy this amazing creation!
Storage recommendations
Refrigerate the cannabis-infused rasgulla in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
