If you are a dry herb vape enthusiast like ourselves, probably you are often left with some good AVB in your vaporizer. So why not put those extras into good use?! If you don’t already know, AVB stands for “already vaped bud.“
We would like to share a savory recipe to use your AVB, The perfect comfort food: Mac n’ Cheese - with homemade AVB infused cheese sauce.
Yes, we are talking about everyone’s favorite, the famous Mac n’ Cheese.
Mac n’ Cheese can be simple and heartwarming, just like it can be a gourmet dish, infused with all kinds of unique, fancy cheese speciality…
Or it could be your ticket to the clouds if you try our tasty AVB infused homemade cheese sauce.
Since Mac n’ Cheese is rich in fat, it makes cannabis compounds from AVB will dissolve perfectly in the sauce.
Also, you will see in the ingredients that butter is the base of the cheese sauce, so you can use your cannabutter here as well if you already have some.
Just keep in mind, using cannabutter and adding AVB to the sauce as well can deliver a much more potent result.
For first timers, we recommend using one or the other (cannabutter, or AVB), and then later, when you know what to expect, you can play more freely how you add your AVB.
In this recipe, we suggest using water-cured AVB, which you can use as-is or grind even more to a powder-like substance.

Cheese Sauce
