With the use of mortar and a pestle, the buds and leaves of Cannabis are squashed and ground into a green paste. Milk, ghee, and spices are added to this mixture. The bhang or cannabis base is now ready to be made into a nutritious and refreshing drink i.e. Thandai, a healthy alternative to alcohol consumers. The bhang or cannabis is also mixed with ghee and sugar to make a delicious green halva which is an Indian dish, and into peppery and chewy little balls called 'golees' (which in this context means a candy or a pill in Hindi language).
