Ardent’s Favorite Black-Owned Cannabis Brands

Ardent Cannabis

According to Greenwood, a Black-owned financial institution, it’s thought that collectively, Black American consumers gross over a trillion dollars, while just around 2% of that income ends up being reinvested into Black communities. The Black dollar also circulates significantly less far than it does in other communities: and we’re talking mere hours versus a few weeks at a time!

Ardent is proud to be a Black woman-owned company. NBC News noted that our Founder & CEO, Shanel Lindsay, “is one of a few Black women to lead a company in the multibillion dollar cannabis industry.”

As Black History Month comes to an end this week, we ask you to resolve to put your hard earned dollars behind Black-owned companies all year. We compiled a list of our absolute favorite Black-owned brands, and encourage you to check them out on your journey through conscious consumerism.

1. Equitable Opportunities Now (EON)

2. Viola

If you love cannabis and basketball, you’ve probably heard of Viola. Established in 2011 by 16-year NBA veteran, Al Harrington, Viola was created with patients’ front-of-mind. Al convinced his grandmother to try cannabis to aid with the pain she endured from her glaucoma and diabetes diagnoses. Despite her hesitations, it worked. Her name? You guessed it: Viola.

Viola’s premium products can be found in various markets across the country. Viola’s mission “is to increase minority participation and ownership in the cannabis industry while positively impacting and reinvesting into communities most affected by the war on drugs.”

3. Saucy

Saucy is a California brand serving up elevated and savory infused condiments like BBQ sauce and balsamic vinegar. Founded by Tess Melody, the healthy infused condiment brand with Texas roots believes that “social equity, access to resources, visibility and inclusivity bridges gaps in society and positively affects change for all marginalized groups.”

Named after the legendary Josephine Baker and Billie Holiday, Beatty and COO Ebony Anderson have built something truly legendary for the cannabis community.

7. Black Plant Chick

8. 024

Gena Surphlis is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of 024™, a home fragrance brand offering luxury candles that target and neutralize the cannabis smell. Gena first began crafting the idea of what would become 024™ when her son, who suffers from sickle cell anemia, causing great amounts of pain, came to her with a plan to stop taking prescription pain medicine and switch to cannabis as a way to more naturally treat his pain. His major concern, the stigma that often goes along with a lingering cannabis smell on clothes, in his apartment, etc.

024™ was built on the basis that everyone should have the freedom to be themselves, without stigma. 024™’s patented NeuAir™ technology targets and neutralizes cannabis airborne molecules and replaces them with our specially formulated alluring and immersive fragrances.

The Truth About Cannabis-Infused Honey

Ardent Cannabis

You might be wondering how to make cannabis-infused honey. Years of myths and tricky marketing from uneducated brands have made it appear as if honey can be infused with flower in the same way as butter or oil. We did the research and found that old methods for infusing honey don’t necessarily work in a significant way, and therefore, dosage is almost always off, in addition to causing tons of wasted material. 

We put honey to the test, and infused it inside the Ardent FX in a few different ways to find out which methods give you the most bang for your buck. Check out our suggestions for infusing honey below: 

The Truth

We know that cannabis is not water soluble. Cannabis molecules cling to fats like butter and oil, along with alcohol. 

Where did the idea that honey made a great infusion medium even come from? Greed, probably. Brands are putting big bucks into advertising under the false pretense that honey can be added to decarbed cannabis or hemp, and infused into a potent end product, and that’s not true. Spoiler alert: The same is also true for plant-based milks, but that’s another blog for another day. 

Although cannabis and hemp flower aren’t easily infused into honey on its own, there are ways to infuse it without any loss at all. We want to ensure that your honey gets infused with as many cannabinoids as possible, so let’s do it right.

Honey Infused with Kief

There’s no loss when you infuse honey with kief, so long as you’re not straining anything. Just decarboxylate your kief inside the Ardent Nova or Ardent FX using the Concentrate and Infusion Sleeve. Once the cycle is complete, gently fold your activated kief into the honey of your choosing. Since there’s no infusion step here, you have to actually eat the kief particles within the honey to experience your high.

Honey Infused with Concentrate

There’s no loss when you infuse honey with concentrate, since with wax, you’re not straining anything out. Using the Concentrate and Infusion Sleeve, place your concentrate inside the device and decarb. Once the cycle is complete, add honey to the decarbed concentrate in the Sleeve, and place it back in the device on the Infuse setting. Run the infuse setting for a few minutes, or until the mixture is warm enough to dissolve the concentrate inside the honey. Pour it into a bottle or jar, then cover, shake, and enjoy. Shake before each use. 

Honey Infused with FECO

In case you can’t access cannabis concentrates in your area, you can always make your own. Making FECO starts with decarboxylating your flower inside the Ardent Nova or Ardent FX. Once activated, move the plant material to a jar outside of the device, and pour just enough Everclear over the material to fully submerge it. Allow it to sit for 24 – 48 hours, agitating it whenever you have the chance, and strain out the plant material using the Ardent Frainer. 

Allow your strained Everclear infusion to sit out in a well-ventilated area, unlidded, until all of the alcohol has evaporated off. It’ll yield a dark, sticky, concentrated wax that can be mixed or warmed into your honey.

Honey Infused with Cannaoil 

Another way to infuse honey with cannabis is by adding small portions of infused oil to your honey. Just decarb your flower inside the Ardent Nova or Ardent FX. Then, add a small portion of coconut oil over your decarbed herb, fully submerging it. Place it back inside the device to Infuse for a full cycle. When the cycle has finished, strain using the Ardent Frainer and drizzle a small amount of infused oil inside your honey. Emulsify it further by warming the honey and coconut oil mixture inside the device on the Infuse setting. Cover, shake, and enjoy!

Using Lecithin

Lecithin is an additive that aids with emulsification, bioavailability, and absorption rate. Lecithin, made with sunflower or soy, can be added to your honey in addition to your kief, concentrate, or infused oil, to help boost the experience further.

5 Edibles That Cost Under $10 To Make

Ardent Cannabis

For the sake of this blog post, let’s say you’re able to purchase 1 gram of cannabis concentrate at 80% THCa for $50 at a dispensary. After precision decarboxylation in the Ardent Nova or Ardent FX, this gram transforms into ~696 usable mgs for edibles, topicals, sublinguals, suppositories, and beyond.

Cannabis-Infused Cereal Bars

A classic stoner treat, almost all of us are familiar with cereal bar edibles. They require shelf-stable ingredients and can be prepared from start to finish inside the Ardent FX. Let’s price out a strong, single-serving .

  • Let’s use 100 mgs in this dish. After all, we’re using so few ingredients that we can afford to ball out here. That’s around $7.14. 
  • A 12 ounce box of off-brand cereal costs around $2.55. We’re only using ⅙ of that, making it about 43 cents per serving. 
  • Mini marshmallows cost about $1.09 for a 10 ounce bag. We only need a ¼ of the bag, making it about 27 cents per serving. 
  • ½ tablespoon of melted coconut oil or butter, which most people already have on hand,  and it costs just pennies in this amount. 
  • Total cost per person: $7.84

Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a flavorful, filling meal that’s perfect for edibles at any time. For this recipe, all you need is a few eggs, crushed tomatoes, onion, parsley, peppers, and some soft, creamy cheese like feta, goat cheese, or boursin. 

  • Let’s use 50 mgs in this dish, as it’s a suitable meal and dosage for about two people. That’s around $3.60 total, or $1.80 per person. 
  • An onion costs around 80 cents. We’ll use the whole thing. That’s about 40 cents per person.
  • A single red pepper goes for around $1.18, and we’ll use the whole thing, bringing it to around 60 cents per person.
  • A 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes is about $1.80, or around 90 cents per person.
  • A dozen eggs is usually around $2, and for this dish we’ll use 4 eggs. That’s around 66 cents, or 33 cents per person. 
  • You can find a 4 ounce log of goat cheese for around $2.55. We’ll use half in this dish, bringing it to about $1.28 or 64 cents per person. 
  • There will be a small additional spend on oil or butter to grease the pan, and on dried parsley flakes, which are already found in most pantries. 
  • Total price per person: $4.67

Chickpea Salad

This nostalgic diner appetizer is perfect in buddha bowls or on its own for a light, protein-rich vegetarian snack. 

  • $2.55 for 5 Persian cucumbers, we only need 1, making it .51 cents for the recipe. 
  • A red onion costs around 80 cents. We’ll use about half. That’s about 40 cents for the recipe.
  • A can of chickpeas is around 80 cents, and we’ll use all of it. 
  • Let’s use 100 mgs in this dish.That costs around $7.14. 
  • This recipe also requires around a tablespoon of EVOO and a quick squeeze of lemon to taste. Feel free to factor those in if they make a difference to your bottom line. 
  • If one person enjoys all of it, that’ll be $8.85 per person, if you split it into two servings, it’s $4.43 per serving.

Veggie Tacos

Taco Tuesday is a fun and affordable way to enjoy cannabis! Switch out toppings based on what you have in your fridge and pantry, and this recipe ends up being even more accessible. 

  • Flour tortillas go for $2.55 for a 20 pack, making them .13 cents each. Let’s make three tacos to form a nice round meal. That’s 39 cents. 
  • Refried beans are $1.29 for a 16 ounce can. We won’t need more than half. At most that’s 64 cents.
  • An onion costs around 80 cents. We’ll sautee half. That’s 40 cents for the entire recipe.
  • A 12 ounce bag of shredded taco cheese costs $3.75, but we’ll likely use under ⅕ of the bag, making it 75 cents for all three tacos.
  • It’s $1.75 for 16 ounces of sour cream, but we’ll only use about 2 tablespoons, bringing the total to around 11 cents. 
  • A plum tomato is about 41 cents. Let’s use the whole thing across all 3 tacos. 
  • Let’s make each taco 25 mgs, making it $5.40 for all 3.
  • For 3 tacos at 25 mgs each, the total cost would be $8.10

Grilled Cheese

You can pair this simple and easy sandwich with tomato soup, or enjoy it straight out of the pan. Feel free to use shredded cheese, slices, or even a soft cheese like brie, which pairs perfectly with some jam. 

  • A loaf of white bread is about $1.19, with at least 20 slices of bread in a loaf, bringing two slices of bread to around 12 cents.
  • It costs $2.89 for 8 ounces of sliced cheddar. Let’s use a few slices of cheese, about ⅓ of the package. That’s 96 cents.  
  • You’ll need a few tablespoons of butter to coat the pan and bread slices with. It’s about 10 cents a tablespoon, and we’ll probably use around 3, bringing it to 30 cents total. 
  • We can dose this recipe up to 100 mgs for just $7.20
  • For a 100 mg grilled cheese, the total cost would be $8.58

HOW TO MAKE INFUSED FIRE CIDER IN THE ARDENT NOVA OR FX (LAB TEST INFUSION RESULTS)

Ardent Cannabis

We know that cannabis and hemp are soluble in alcohol and fats. After many long months keeping our immune systems healthy and functional during another wave of winter illness, we began questioning if our favorite immune supporting brew, fire cider, could be boosted with the healing properties of cannabis. But the issue is, there’s generally no oil or alcohol in fire cider, potentially making it hard to infuse. 

We decided to put fire cider to the test, to see if there were any cannabinoid binding properties in vinegar. The particular store-bought fire cider we tested contained zero honey at all! We used an Apple Cider Vinegar Wellness Tonic. It contained: apple cider vinegar, oranges, lemons, onions, ginger, horseradish, garlic, turmeric, habanero pepper, and black pepper. Let’s see how it performed:

Cannabis-Infused Fire Cider Test Results

We began with THC-rich cannabis decarboxylated inside the Ardent FX on the A1 setting. We tested our decarboxylated material at MCR Labs, and found that after the activation cycle, our one-gram of cannabis tested at 16.26% THC. So, let’s move the decimal point over one place to the right to determine how many mgs are in our gram of cannabis. Our one-gram nug yielded about 162 mgs of activated THC. 

We then placed the decarboxylated cannabis inside an ounce of store-bought fire cider and allowed it to infuse on the FX’s infuse setting. We brought the infused fire cider to MCR Labs to see how many mgs made it inside! It tested for 24.95 mgs of THC. 

A super small amount of our original 162 activated mgs have ended up in our fire cider infusion. Let’s figure out the infusion rate of fire cider by dividing the 24.95 mgs found in our infusion by the 162 mgs that were placed inside the solution to start with. Then, move the decimal point over two places to the right.

Cannabis-Infused Fire Cider Test ResultsDownload

This particular fire cider has about a 15% infusion rate. The low infusion rate is due to the fire cider being water-based. Although 15% is better than nothing, there are more efficient ways to make a potent canna-fire cider using Ardent’s precision technology. Check out some fun ways to infuse below.

Ardent Approved Ways to Infuse Your Fire Cider with Cannabis

  • With cannasugar
  • With green dragon: if alcohol doesn’t bother you, you can add some tincture to your infusion. It’ll kick it up a notch with heat, too.
  • Using cannabis-infused honey (made with concentrate, kief, or flower infused coconut oil)
  • Decarbed cannabis concentrate or kief

How to Make DIY Fire Cider Using the Ardent FX

Equipment Needed

Ingredients

*Use organic ingredients whenever possible, and dry herbs in lieu of fresh herbs when they’re unavailable

  • Apple Cider Vinegar (you can make your own with water, apple scraps, and sugar) 
  • Garlic
  • Horseradish 
  • Turmeric 
  • Lemon 
  • Onion 
  • Rosemary 
  • Hot peppers (use cayenne, scotch bonnets, jalapeno, etc.)
  • Cannabis-infused sugar or honey
  • Tincture or decarbed concentrate, optional

DIY Fire Cider Recipe

  1. Combine all ingredients inside the mason jar (except your infused sugar or honey,) in the quantities you can tolerate, and place them on the Single Lifter. 
  2. Place the Single Lifter inside the FX on the Infuse setting for about 20 minutes. 
  3. When the mixture comes out of the device, ensure the vinegar rises above the other ingredients. If not, top it off with more vinegar.
  4. Mix in cannabis-infused honey or sugar, along with tincture, decarbed concentrate, or decarbed kief if you’re adding it in. 
  5. Place a sealed ziploc bag filled partially with water on top of the ingredients in the jar to create some space between the lid and the mixture. Use toothpicks to keep the ziploc below the lid area. 
  6. Close the lid, store in a cool dark place, and shake daily. After a month or so, the ingredients can be strained out and the cider can be stored in an airtight container in the pantry for at least a year.

How to Get Started

The base of this infused recipe is cannabis infused olive oil. To prepare an extra virgin olive oil infusion, start by decarboxylating your CBD-rich material. If you’re decarbing CBD inside the Ardent Nova, run the single button interface two times, with a cool down break in between cycles. If you’re decarboxylating CBD inside the Ardent FX, select the A2 setting. For infusion, simply pour olive oil over the decarboxylated hemp, using the Ardent Vessel or Concentrate and Infusion Sleeve for mess-free cleanup. Once the plant material is fully submerged, begin another cycle in the Nova, or an Infuse cycle inside the FX. Strain using the Ardent Frainer or Infusion Press, and use in recipes of all kinds.

Cannabis naturally creates community. Host get togethers to chat about important issues regarding community, then at the next meet up, sesh together, then do something for the community such as stocking a community fridge, hosting a coat drive, or handing out women’s care items.

2. Ujichagulia: Self-Determination

Laziness is an outdated and inaccurate cannabis stigma. Next time you sesh, sesh with productivity in mind: fold that laundry, formulate a business plan, create a meal prep menu, or make a new schedule that incorporates your interests and hobbies.

3. Ujima: Collective Work and Responsibility

Take community action when a problem presents itself that impacts all of us. For example, boycott brands advocating against the home grow.

4. Ujamaa: Cooperative Economics

Support minority-owned businesses whenever possible. We are proud to be a Black woman-owned business! Some of our favorite Black-owned cannabis businesses are Viola, Lowd, Zyn Wellness, Saucy, Homebody, and Hybrid.

5. Nia: Purpose

Provide and share opportunities for people of color to live up to their greatest potential. There are many opportunities for those who feel their purpose is in cannabis. From graphic design, to social media, law, retail, accounting, and beyond, if the sector exists outside of cannabis, it exists in our industry, too! If you’re interested in getting involved with or working in the northeastern cannabis community, check out Equitable Opportunities Now.

6. Kuumba: Creativity

Cannabis often goes hand in hand with creativity. Next time you consume, tell a story through the medium of your choosing. Express yourself through writing, music, painting, knitting, cooking, and more. 

7. Imani: Faith

Believe in the power of your community and believe in the power of plant medicine.

Cannabis Capsules 4 Ways

Ardent Cannabis

Cannabis capsules are one of the most discreet and portable methods of cannabis consumption. 

Plus, instead of factoring in additional calories or preparations for an infused meal or dessert, cannabis capsules keep your lifestyle choices front of mind.

Decarbed Flower Caps

The easiest way to make cannabis or hemp capsules at home is by decarboxylating your plant material, grinding it up, and stuffing it inside an empty capsule. You can use flower, kief, or concentrates for this! 

To make decarbed cannabis capsules, place your plant material inside the Ardent Mini, FX, or Nova. No need to grind. If you’re using concentrate or kief, or if you just want to keep your machine looking spotless, place your material inside the Concentrate and Infusion Sleeve or unlidded Vessel before placing it inside the unit. Close your device. If using the Nova, press the single button interface to begin a cycle. The cycle is complete when the button turns from red back to green. If using the FX or Mini, switch between modes using the M button. Press A1 to activate material rich in THC or CBG, and the A2 setting to activate material rich in CBD. The cycle is complete when the button turns from red back to green. Break the activated cannabis down into small bits until it fits in one side capsule, avoiding stems whenever possible. Close the capsule with the other side. 

Although most people can generally feel the effects of activated cannabis on its own, others need a little extra boost of bioavailability. If you fall into this category and want to use cannabis or hemp on its own in your capsules, just be sure to eat something around the same time containing a bit of fat. Avocado, peanut butter, cheese, hemp seeds, yogurt, etc. work very well!

Decarbed Flower + Adaptogen Caps

For those looking to turn their capsules into daily supplements, you might want to consider adding powdered adaptogens like Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Chaga, Cordyceps, Ashwagandha, and other herbal support to your dose. 

To make adaptogenic capsules containing cannabis, place your plant material inside the Ardent Mini, FX, or Nova. If you’re using concentrate or kief, or if you just want to keep your machine looking spotless, place your material inside the Concentrate and Infusion Sleeve or unlidded Vessel before placing it inside the unit. Close your device. If using the Nova, press the single button interface to begin a cycle. If using the FX or Mini, switch between modes using the M button. Press A1 to activate material rich in THC or CBG, and the A2 setting to activate material rich in CBD. The cycles are complete when the buttons return back to green. 

Using a coffee grinder or hand-held cannabis grinder, break down the decarbed cannabis. You can also break it up by hand into small pieces that will fit inside the capsule. Fill half of one side of the capsule with ground, decarbed herb, and the other half of the same side with the powdered adaptogenic supplements of your choosing. Close the capsule with the other half. Please consult your physician before using cannabis and other herbal adaptogens for potential interactions and/or side effects.

Decarbed Flower + Oil Caps

If you’re someone who has a hard time feeling the full effects of your activated cannabis or hemp without a boost of fat, add a bit of food-grade oil to your cannabis right inside the capsule to help make it more bioavailable. Take your pick between olive oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil, MCT oil, ghee, or whatever else you might have on hand or prefer. 

Skip the infusion step entirely with this easy-to-follow method: Decarb inside your Ardent Mini, FX, or Nova. If you’re using concentrate, kief, or if you just want to keep your machine totally clean, place your material inside the Concentrate and Infusion Sleeve or unlidded Vessel before placing it inside the device. Close your unit. If using the Nova, press the single button interface to begin a cycle. If using the FX or Mini, start an A1 cycle to activate material rich in THC or CBG, or an A2 cycle to activate material rich in CBD. The decarboxylation process is complete when the buttons turn green again. 

When your material is precisely decarboxylated, grind it finely using a handheld or coffee grinder. Place a bit of decarbed cannabis inside one half of the capsule, leaving a bit of space for oil. Add a little dab of coconut oil using a small spoon or toothpick, or a few drops of liquid (or melted) oil using a tincture dropper inside the side of the capsule containing the herb. Close the capsule and enjoy.

Infused Oil Caps

Infused oil caps probably look the most dispensary-grade of all the options on this list. This method uses infused oil inside a capsule for a slower delivery compared to sublingual application. 

Since we’re not adding decarboxylated herb to the capsules directly, we’ll have to factor in a bit of loss during the infusion step. We’ve determined the infusion rate of EVOO to be around 90%. 

Decarb inside your Nova or FX device. House your plant material in the Concentrate and Infusion Sleeve or unlidded Vessel before placing inside the device to keep the process totally clean and mess-free. Close your unit. If using the Nova, press the single button interface to begin a cycle. If using the FX, start an A1 cycle to activate material rich in THC or CBG, or an A2 cycle to activate material rich in CBD. The decarboxylation process is complete when the buttons turn green again. 

Pour your infusion medium of choice over the activated material inside your device and allow it to run for another cycle in the Nova, or on an Infuse cycle in the FX. Strain out the raffinate using the Frainer, Infusion Press, or a standard kitchen cheese cloth. Using a dropper, pick up some infused oil, and carefully fill one side of a capsule with the oil infusion. Close the capsule. Store capsules inside the fridge to prevent the most leakage, which can occasionally happen with this method. To prevent leakage entirely, fill capsules with infused oil just prior to taking them.

Easy CBD Dog Treats

Ardent Cannabis

Ardent community member, Cristina Nosonowitz, created homemade CBD-infused dog treats for a friend’s pup who was diagnosed with cancer. She also uses this recipe to manage her own dog’s anxiety. 

If you’re looking for a way to bring your dog some calm while helping them achieve homeostasis, check out Cristina’s easy recipe below:

How to Get Started

Dosing for our pets is a bit more gentle than dosing for ourselves. When you’re starting out, just use 1 – 2 mgs per every 10 pounds of weight. You can adjust for your pet’s specific needs per their veterinarian’s recommendations. 

This recipe uses CBD-infused vegetable oil. To infuse vegetable oil, just decarboxylate your hemp material in the Ardent FX using the A2 setting. Remember, you probably won’t even need a whole nug for this, since the dosing recommendations are so low. Once the cycle is complete, pour the vegetable oil over the activated hemp and allow it to infuse on the Infuse setting. Use the Concentrate and Infusion Sleeve or an unlidded Vessel to make things even more mess-free. Strain out the infusion using the Frainer or FX Infusion Press. 

If you want to dose up your pet’s food without going through the baking process, simply add homemade CBD oil to their store-bought treats. Most biscuit-style treats will absorb the oil. If your pet isn’t picky, you can also give them a drop directly from the tincture bottle. 

Equipment Needed

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup CBD-infused vegetable oil 
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 2 large eggs 
  • 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour

How to Make CBD-Infused Dog Treats

  1. Combine pumpkin puree, peanut butter, vegetable oil, and eggs. 
  2. Add the baking soda and flour. Stir well. 
  3. Knead the dough into a ball, and flatten using a rolling pin. 
  4. Use a dog bone cookie cutter to make each individual cookie. 
  5. Add cookies to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake on 350 for 15 minutes.

How to Make Cannabis Infused Salve and Chapstick

Ardent Cannabis

For this month’s episode of Easily Baked with Ardent, our free monthly cooking show that teaches beginner-level, from-scratch, infused recipes with the aid of Ardent technology right on Instagram Live, we tackled two different topicals: medicated chapstick and hand salve! 

In case you missed out on the fun, we’re recapping it right here:

How to Get Started

The infusion base of these recipes, along with plenty of other topicals (and edibles), is cannabis oil. We also add some CBD FECO to help boost the potency in both recipes, but this is completely optional. 

To make cannaoil, you’ll need to decarb your plant material in the Ardent FX. Once your decarb cycle is complete, add the plant material and a few tablespoons of oil (in these recipes you can infuse almond oil, coconut oil, or EVOO) to the Concentrate and Infusion Sleeve. Place the sleeve inside the FX and run an Infuse cycle. When the infusion is complete, strain using a strainer, cheesecloth, or the Ardent Frainer. To make your cannaoil even stronger, infuse your oil with concentrate or kief, instead of flower.

Kitchen Tools:

Ingredients:

  • Cannabis or hemp
  • Sweet almond oil
  • Cannabis or hemp plant material 
  • ¼ teaspoon coconut oil 
  • ¼ teaspoon sweet almond oil 
  • ½ teaspoon shea butter 
  • ¼ teaspoon melted beeswax
  • 4 drops of the essential oils of your choosing; we like lemongrass, lavender, peppermint, vanilla, and sweet orange oil

How to Make FX In-Unit Chapstick

*Recipe makes (1) tube of chapstick

  1. Decarb your cannabis material in the Ardent Nova or FX. In the Nova, press the single button interface. In the FX, use the A1 setting to activate THC or CBG-rich material, and the A2 setting to activate CBD-rich material. 
  2. Using the Concentrate and Infusion Sleeve, add sweet almond oil and coconut oil to the decarbed material and place the FX on the Infuse setting, or run a second cycle in the Nova. Make sure the material is fully submerged in the oil. (Make a larger batch of oil if need be.)
  3. Strain out the spent plant material using the Ardent Frainer once the cycle is complete. 
  4. In the Sleeve, add infused oil blend, shea butter, and beeswax on the Infuse setting until it’s fully melted. 
  5. Remove the Sleeve from the device, quickly mix in the essential oils of your choosing, and pour into the chapstick. Allow it to cool, then cap, label, and enjoy. 

Ingredients:

  • Cannabis or hemp plant material 
  • Arnica flowers 
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil 
  • 1 tablespoon Ardent Traditional EVOO 
  • 1 tablespoon sweet almond oil 
  • 1 tablespoon melted shea butter 
  • ¾ of an ounce of beeswax 
  • 10 drops of the essential oils of your choosing; we like patchouli, lavender, peppermint, spearmint, wintergreen, eucalyptus, sweet orange, and bergamot

How to Make FX In-Unit Hand Salve

*Recipe makes (1) 4 oz. jar of salve

  1. Decarb your cannabis material in the Ardent Nova or FX. In the Nova, press the single button interface. In the FX, use the A1 setting to activate THC or CBG-rich material, and the A2 setting to activate CBD-rich material. 
  2. Using the Double Lifter, add a jar of coconut oil with Arnica flowers on one shelf, and a jar of almond oil with decarbed cannabis material on the other shelf. Place on the Infuse setting. 
  3. Once the infusion cycle is complete, strain out the spent arnica and cannabis material from the jars using the Ardent Frainer (or a disposable cheesecloth). Clean the Frainer very well, as arnica can be toxic if ingested. 
  4. Add infused coconut oil, infused almond oil, EVOO, shea butter, and beeswax to a jar. Double the recipe if making two jars to fit on the Double Lifter. Place on the Lifter and inside the device on the Infuse setting. 
  5. After about 20 minutes, remove the Double Lifter from the device and quickly stir in the essential oils of your choosing before leaving the jars out to cool and harden. If you prefer a more firm consistency, add more wax. If you prefer a more soft consistency, add more oil of your choosing. Label and enjoy!

Infused Pumpkin Recipe Roundup

Ardent Cannabis

We arrived at pumpkin spice season very early this year, and we’re not mad at all. 

We started with a delicious sweet infused pumpkin pie dip, served best with graham crackers, apples, and other fruit, and our pumpkin spice latte syrup, which is a perfect addition to your next in-unit coffee. 

To celebrate National Pumpkin Day, we’re serving up two more infused pumpkin recipes for you to sink your teeth (and straws) into.

How to Get Started

These two pumpkin spiced recipes are delicious and fun. The first recipe, pumpkin overnight oats, is naturally vegan. The second recipe, a pumpkin milkshake, contains plenty of dairy, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be made plant-based with a few simple swaps. 

The overnight oats recipe uses infused coconut or MCT oil as its infusion base. When the blender whips all the ingredients together, the oil disappears, and even ultimately helps thicken the oats. This recipe is a bit more forgiving to additional oil, so dose your oats as you wish with what you have, trying not to exceed 2 tablespoons. 

The milkshake recipe uses infused whole milk, which with our lab testing, we’ve learned has about a 50% infusion rate. If you’re swapping out whole milk for something plant-based, we recommend turning your milkshake into an instant edible. Not only will you save time and effort, but you’ll prevent any loss on the infusion step.

An instant edible is made by adding ground, decarboxylated herb (or concentrate) into or on top of your recipe. Another alternative, if you have infused coconut or MCT oil on hand, is to add a small bit of infused oil, ½ teaspoon at a time, to ensure it’s not recognizable in the milkshake’s final texture. Then, you can replace the whole milk with your favorite plant-based alternative (though these are generally terrible for infusion, as they have very little fat content,) replace the ice cream with your favorite vegan icy treat, and forgo or replace the whipped cream with coconut whipped cream. 

Additionally, both recipes utilize cannasalt: a staple we keep around, stored safely in our Ardent Vessel. We’re using such a small amount of salt in each recipe, making very little difference in dose, that you can feel free to use regular salt in place of its infused counterpart. Here goes:

Equipment Needed

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat milk (or almond, soy, etc. per your preference) 
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds 
  • 1 date, pit removed
  • 1 – 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • ½ teaspoon infused coconut or MCT oil 
  • Sprinkle of cannasalt 
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 – 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice

How to Make Infused Pumpkin Overnight Oats 

  1. In a blender, combine oat milk, chia seeds, date, pumpkin puree, infused coconut oil, and cannasalt until well combined. 
  2. Pour mixture over rolled oats in a bowl and mix until every oat is thoroughly coated.
  3. Add pumpkin pie spice and mix. 
  4. Place inside the refrigerator overnight to thicken, and enjoy in the morning.

Equipment Needed

Ingredients

  • ½ cup whole milk, infused  
  • 4 – 5 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
  • Sprinkle of cannasalt 
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, additional for serving 
  • Cinnamon sticks, optional, for serving 
  • Whipped cream, optional, for serving

How to Make an Infused Pumpkin Milkshake 

  1. Combine infused whole milk, vanilla ice cream, pumpkin puree, cannasalt, and pumpkin pie spice in a blender and mix until smooth. 
  2. Pour infused milkshake into a glass and garnish with cinnamon sticks, whipped cream, and a bit more pumpkin pie spice to taste. Enjoy!
