Jeffs 420 Irish Cream

Jeff’s Irie Irish Cream

Better than Baily’s…non-alcoholic. Infused with THC! A totally unique experience!

Servings: 6 – 4 oz servings

Approximate THC per Serving*:

4.5 mg THC per serving

*Milligrams per serving based on Kiva’s Terra Espresso beans 5 mg THC content.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups Jameson Irish Whisky (we are going to boil out the alcohol content)
  • 5 ice cubes
  • 6 KIVA Terra Espresso Beans (5 mg each)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 shot of espresso or 1 teaspoon instant coffee
  • 1 cup Half and Half
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup

Steps:

  1. Bring Irish whisky to a boil over a medium/low flame for 5 minutes to reduce and begin to boil off the alcohol content.
  2. To finish, (this is fun but be very careful!), using a long neck lighter, ignite the whisky in the the pot. A light blue flame will burn on top of the alcohol for about 5 – 7 minutes until all the alcohol has evaporated. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a blender, add ice cubes, vanilla, espresso, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, Jameson and Kiva Terra Espresso beans.
  4. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Strain through a fine strainer or cheesecloth and voila!
