Equipment
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Matcha whisk (optional)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mug
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 gram decarboxylated cannabis
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1-2 teaspoons honey or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Cannabis-Infused Milk: In a saucepan over low heat, warm the milk until it begins to simmer. Add the decarboxylated cannabis and continue to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain the milk through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the cannabis solids. Allow the infused milk to cool slightly
- Whisk Matcha: In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any clumps. Add a small amount of hot water (not boiling) and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the cannabis-infused milk into a mug. Add the whisked matcha, honey, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir well to combine
- Froth (Optional): For a frothier latte, use a milk frother or immersion blender to blend the latte until frothy
- Serve: Enjoy your cannabis-infused matcha latte warm
Notes
- The potency of the cannabis-infused milk will depend on the strain of cannabis used and the potency of the flower. Adjust the amount of cannabis based on personal preference and tolerance.
- Store any leftover cannabis-infused milk in the refrigerator and use within a few days.
- Always label cannabis-infused products clearly and keep them out of reach of children and pets.
