This green tea latte is a great way to get the antioxidant benefits of both matcha and cannabis without stepping foot in a Starbucks. You can adjust the potency by using more or less cannabis when you infuse the coconut cream.
Serves 1
1 teaspoon matcha powder, sifted if possible
¼ cup hot water
¼ cup warmed cannabis coconut cream (recipe follows)
Honey or maple syrup, to taste (optional)
Sifter (optional)
Small whisk
Combine matcha, hot water and warm coconut milk into large mug. Whisk briskly for about 30 seconds, until frothy.
Add sweetener to taste, if using. Serve.
Cannabis-Infused Coconut Cream
2 13.5-ounce cans organic full-fat coconut cream
1/2 gram cannabis flower or trim
Double boiler
Fine mesh strainer
Cheesecloth or paper coffee filter
Combine coconut cream and cannabis in a saucepan over a double boiler and heat over medium heat, stirring often.
When it begins to boil, immediately reduce heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Let cool but do not let harden.
Place cheesecloth or coffee filter in fine mesh strainer and place over a jar or bowl. Pour coconut cream through to catch solids. You may have to pour through a couple times before cream runs clear. Squeeze out last drops of coconut cream and discard or compost cannabis and cheesecloth.
Use immediately or refrigerate in labeled airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week and freezer for up to six months.
