Decarboxylation
0.9 g flower @ 22–25 % THC (or 0.45 g good kief)
240 °F for 40 minutes in sealed mason jar → ~180 mg usable THC
Infusion
¾ cup (180 ml) heavy cream + ¼ tsp liquid sunflower lecithin
Warm to 170 °F → add decarbed material → sous-vide 185 °F for 2 hours
Strain hard → crystal-clear 180 mg THC cream
Biscuits
2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp ceremonial-grade matcha powder
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp fine salt
6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
¾ cup cold buttermilk
All 180 mg THC cream (chilled)
Strawberries
1 lb (450 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2–3 tbsp granulated sugar (to taste)
Splash lemon juice
Whipped Cream
1½ cups cold heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Steps
1. Macerate strawberries: toss slices with sugar + lemon → rest 30 minutes (juices release).
2. Biscuits: sift flour + matcha + baking powder + sugar + salt → cut in cold butter until pea-sized → mix buttermilk + THC cream → stir just until dough forms (don't overwork).
3. Pat dough ¾-inch thick → cut 12 rounds → brush tops with extra cream → bake 425 °F 12–15 minutes until golden.
4. Whip cream: beat cold cream + powdered sugar + vanilla to soft peaks.
5. Assemble: split warm biscuits → layer strawberries + juices → big dollop whipped cream → top with biscuit half → extra berries + cream + matcha dust.
Storage
Assembled → fridge 1 day max (biscuits soften)
Components separate → biscuits room temp 2 days, cream fridge 3 days
