Hi there, I'm curious about using powdered milk in my cannabis recipes. Specifically, I'm wondering if it's okay to substitute regular milk since I've heard that Powdered milk does not dissolve cannabinoids well. Would have any negative effects? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!"

Cannabis oil disolves best in another oil or butter.

It may temporarily mix with liquid milk if you use an emulsifier like lecithin. Eventually it will separate though. Hopefully your items will be cooked and solidified before that.

To mix with powdered milk I'd still use lecithin and hydrate with an oil or butter if possible.

Another option is to make a mct oil infusion and dose with it, to already made edibles.

I can't see why not, but haven't tried it. Keep in mind it's the fat you are after, so powdered whole milk should work. Don't use low fat.

I have read that powdered milk has lower fat content compared to liquid milk, but I will try it anyway. Wish me luck, I will use it in cookies.

that's impossible IMHO. Liquid milk contains ~88% of water. powdered milk has no water, hence must contain more fat inside of it.

Does your recipe have an oil or butter as an ingredient?

If so just mix your cannabis oil with it and proceed as with a regular recipe.

Yes, I have read that powdered milk made in Europe is produced using the atomization method, which results in some loss of fat.

Yes, I'm going to use butter too, but very little of it. I suppose it will be easier to mix the marijuana with it even if it's more concentrated.

Dude. No. Dehydrating milk doesn't turn some of it into fat. Dehydrated milk has exactly as much fat as it had before it was dehydrated.

Most readily available powdered milk is low fat - that means they removed much or most of the fat prior to dehydrating it.

Occasionally you can find full fat powdered milk. It is expensive and typically only available from bakery supply places (ie you have to buy like 50 lbs of it). It is made by NOT skimming cream off prior to dehydrating.

You can use powdered milk in your recipe as an add on . It brings a new rich taste to your baked goods . As far as a substitute for regular milk , NO . You'll just end up with a mess ;). Technically you can, you have to reconstitute it. And that's the rub, you have to figure out your fat content for your milk. A little too much , or too little, will fuck up your recipe . I have a can of full fat powdered milk I use as an addition for flavor. It tends to firm up the texture of your baked goods. I only use 1 or 2 tbls at a time.

Available on Amazon in 1 pound volumes up to ??? for ~20usd/pound. Could you use a tincture and treat it like a dosed sugar?
