Hi Stanger. Good for you that all of your plants survived. I've been growing professionally for 2 1/2 years and I've never heard of making milk out of leaves. Maybe someone else can help there. When making butters, tinctures etc you definitely want dry leaves. But I thought I could suggest an alternative for you. If you have a juicer, you can save RAW fan leaves.Those are the big leaves with the long stems. You can cut all of the leaves off and freeze them. Then take about 15-20 leaves and juice them and add them to other juices. You may be able to just add them to milk if you prefer. For juice you want about a 1 part/10 of juice. I think this is strictly to get rid of the bitterness of the leaf juice. This is supposed to have great healing properties. Anti-inflammatory. Google juicing raw marijuana leaf and you will get some info on it. I am looking for more info to help a friend with prostate cancer that spread. Best of luck in growing. It has been a great experience for me even with all the ups and downs. And there will be those if you grow long enough.
Thanks for an info! I think there a little misunderstanding. English in not my native... I meant not milk from leaves, but boiling leaves in milk to get out maximum thc from plant.

No problem. I think I understand you question better. Milk is water based and I don't believe it is the most effective way for get the most thc. The best way to extract the thc is using something oil based like butter. The oil will absorb the thc best. Some people extract with an alcohol based substance but for edibles your best bet is to make a butter. There are recipes on this forum. When I make it I use 5 oz of the sugar leaf. I don't use the big fan leaves or stems. I dry them and then crunch them up a bit. Then I add 5 sticks of butter, the leaf and enough water to cover and cook on high in crock pot for 2 hours and then reduce to low and cook another 2 hours. Then let cool for a while and put through a cheese cloth or panty hose into a tupperware container and let it solidfy. The cut the hard butter out of the container. This makes very strong butter but you can just dilute the strength with more butter. I remelt the butter without getting the temp to high and then put them in individual muffin tins and freeze them. I use an extra stick of butter because you definitely lose some in the process. The end result is about a pound of very strong butter. I use this stronger butter for fudge which doesn't require a lot of oil but I dilute about 1/2 for cookies. Hope this helps

One last thing. You need to use leaves from the plant that is ready to harvest or close. THey need trichomes on them that result from flowering. (those are the crystals that form on the bud and leaf just in case you didn't know) If you are getting rid of plants in the veg stage, they will not have the tch content that I think you are looking for. Good Luck
Thanks!

Milk does have some Fat content that can extract some Thc. However there isn't a great deal of it. You can try https://www.rollitup.org/cooking-cannabis/193516-hot-butter-bhang-drink.html . It doesn't taste too bad.

I read some were here that they would take a pestle and mortar green bud and milk.
It was like a couple TB Spoons mike some bud grind grind grind, strain thru cheese cloth.
do again using milk from what you just strained and fresh mike and more bud grind grind, strain.
You also add gin sing and some other herbs can't remember. But there was a thread like that.
In places in the East where alcohol is against the law and religion forbids, they make this and serve
to company.. I don't know I just remember that.
