Pro Tips
- Order butterfly pea flowers (Anchan) online — available at tea shops or Asian markets.
- The color shift is chemistry: Anthocyanins in the flowers react to acid (lemon) and shift from blue to pink.
- For hot latte: Froth milk hot, no ice cubes, simply let blue tea stir through.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do edibles take to kick in?
Cannabis edibles typically take 30–90 minutes to kick in, depending on your metabolism, body weight, and whether you've eaten recently. Always wait at least 2 hours before consuming more to avoid overconsumption.
How do I calculate the THC dosage for Cannabis Butterfly Pea Latte?
Use our THC Edibles Calculator to calculate the exact THC mg per serving based on your strain's potency and the amount of cannabis used. A common starting dose for beginners is 5–10 mg THC per serving.
Can I use cannabis tincture instead of infused oil in drinks?
Yes, cannabis tinctures work well in drinks. Start with a low dose (0.5–1 ml) and shake well to mix. Tinctures are alcohol-based and may slightly alter the flavor.
How do I make cannabis drinks less bitter?
Use high-quality infused honey or coconut oil instead of plain cannabutter to reduce bitterness. Citrus juice and strong flavors like mint or ginger also help mask the cannabis taste effectively.
