Instructions
-
1Dissolve cannabis-infused butter in milk at 140°F (60°C) and gently infuse for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve.
-
2Pour vanilla syrup into two large glasses.
-
3Heat cannabis milk and froth (or leave cold for iced version).
-
4Pour milk slowly over vanilla syrup to create layers.
-
5Pour espresso directly over the milk foam—it 'falls' through the foam (hence 'macchiato' = spotted).
-
6Drizzle caramel sauce in a crosshatch pattern on top.
-
7For Iced: Add ice to glass, pour in cold cannabis-infused milk, then espresso and caramel.
Pro Tips
- The crosshatch caramel pattern is typical of Starbucks—three horizontal and three vertical lines. Cannabis-infused butter milk is fattier and froths more evenly than regular milk.

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 Starbucks Caramel Macchiato?
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.
