COURSE I — WAKE & BAKE



---


Cannabis-Infused “Emerald Sunrise Matcha Latte”


Wake & Bake Beverage with Cannabis-Infused Vanilla Simple Syrup


Matcha provides clean caffeine energy and L-theanine balance. The cannabis is infused into a vanilla simple syrup rather than milk to ensure controlled dosing, shelf stability, and measurable portioning.


This recipe is written so a home cook can execute safely and precisely.



---


YIELD


6 full lattes

Approximate potency: 4–5mg THC per serving (moderate wake dose)



---


DOSING CALCULATION


Using 1.5g cannabis at 15% THC:


1.5g = 1500mg flower

1500mg × 0.15 = 225mg THC total potential

Estimated 75% activation efficiency = ~168mg available THC

Estimated 35% loss during infusion & straining = ~110mg active THC retained


For conservative real-world kitchen accuracy we calculate:

~55mg usable THC in final syrup batch


Final syrup volume ≈ 1 cup (16 tablespoons)


55mg ÷ 16 tbsp ≈ 3.4mg per teaspoon

1½ teaspoons ≈ 5mg per latte



---


EQUIPMENT


• Oven thermometer

• Parchment paper

• Baking sheet

• Fine grinder

• Small saucepan

• Candy thermometer

• Cheesecloth

• Fine mesh sieve

• Heatproof glass jar

• Matcha whisk (or milk frother)



---


STEP 1 — DECARBOXYLATION


Ingredients:

• 1.5 grams cannabis flower (Limonene + Pinene dominant preferred)


1. Preheat oven to 225°F (107°C). Confirm temperature with oven thermometer.



2. Break flower into small rice-sized pieces (do not powder).



3. Spread evenly on parchment-lined baking sheet.



4. Bake 35–40 minutes.

• Stir once at 20 minutes for even exposure.

• Flower should turn lightly golden brown, not dark.



5. Remove and allow to cool completely before handling.




This activates THCA into psychoactive THC.

6. Remove from heat.



7. Strain through fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into glass jar.



8. Press gently; do not squeeze excessively (reduces bitterness).

Shelf life: 2 weeks refrigerated.
