Cherry Lavender Mylk: A Collaboration with OM Edibles

I made a Spicy Ginger Fizz mocktail with OM Edibles’ Daytime Elixir in my last post that will keep your spirits lifted all weekend long in quarantine. But did you know? OM also has a Nighttime Elixir made with a blend of lavender & chamomile to help bring you back down at the end of the day.

A friend of ours dropped off a massive bag of hand-picked cherries and I thought I’d turn it into a flavor-packed cherry-lavender syrup to use in beverages and desserts (hello, chocolate cake!) You can also use the syrup in a warm Cherry Lavender Mylk before hitting the hay and watch yourself drift off to sleep in no time.

Cherry Lavender Mylk with OM Edibles Nighttime Elixir
Serves 2
Dosage: 10mg THC/1mg CBD per person 

Ingredients: 
• 3 cups cherries 
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp dried lavender
• 2 cups almond milk 
• 1 dropper (1 ml) OM Edibles Nighttime Elixir* 

Directions:
1. Add cherries and sugar in a medium saucepan to warm over medium heat. Stir to combine. After 2 minutes, mash the cherries with a potato masher to release the juices and dissolve the sugar. 
2. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. 
3. Add dried lavender into the saucepan and stir to combine. Cover and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. 
4. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Strain the mixture into a container and separate the solids. Keep the cherry-lavender syrup refrigerated until ready to use.  
5. To serve: Warm almond milk and add 3-4 Tbsp of the cherry-lavender syrup and OM Edibles Nighttime Elixir. Stir well and serve in mugs. 

*If you don’t have access to OM Edibles Daytime Elixir, feel free to substitute with your preferred Sous Weed tincture or a serving of Sous Weed honey loosened with a bit of warm water.
