Instructions

1

Warm cannabis milk with cardamom, cinnamon stick, cloves, ginger, and black pepper in a small pot over low heat for 5 minutes — do not boil!
2

Strain out the chai spices. Keep cannabis milk warm.
3

Place matcha in a bowl. Add 2.7 oz (80ml) hot water (158°F/70°C) — too hot makes matcha bitter.
4

Whisk vigorously in Z-motions with a bamboo whisk or small milk frother until no lumps remain.
5

Dissolve honey in the warm chai cannabis milk.
6

Froth the oat milk in a milk frother. Preheat glasses.
7

Pour chai cannabis milk into glasses, top with matcha shot, crown with foam. Optional: sprinkle with cinnamon.

Pro Tips

Milk temperature is crucial: 149-158°F (65-70°C) for perfect flavor without bitterness.
For iced version (Iced Chai Matcha): pour everything over ice — a summer favorite.
Ceremony Grade matcha is worth it — cheap varieties taste grassy and mask the chai notes.

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 Chai-Matcha Fusion 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.
