Cannabis Iced Matcha
Cannabis Iced Matcha. Approximately ~10mg THC per serve at full strength. 5 min total, 1 serve yield.
This refreshing cannabis iced matcha brings together the ceremonial elegance of Japanese tea culture with modern cannabis infusion techniques. The earthy, umami notes of premium matcha powder complement the herbal undertones of cannabis beautifully, creating a sophisticated drink that’s perfect for Australia’s warm climate and growing appreciation for authentic Asian flavours.
Each serving contains approximately 10mg THC when made with standard cannabis coconut oil, making it ideal for both newcomers and experienced users.

Method
Prepare your matcha by sifting the powder into a small bowl to remove any lumps. Heat water to 70-80°C (not boiling, as this will make the matcha bitter).
Whisk the matcha powder with hot water using a bamboo whisk or small regular whisk until smooth and frothy. The mixture should be vibrant green with no lumps.
Measure your cannabis oil carefully using Digital Kitchen Scale (0.01g) for accuracy. Add the oil to your serving glass.
Combine the warm matcha mixture with the cannabis oil in the glass, stirring well to ensure even distribution. The fat in the oil will help emulsify with the liquid.
Add honey or maple syrup if desired, stirring to dissolve. Fill the glass with ice cubes and slowly pour in the cold milk.
Finish by giving the drink a final gentle stir and enjoy immediately. The layers will naturally blend as you drink.
Expert Tips
Quality Matters
Use ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavour and colour. Culinary grade works but won’t be as vibrant or smooth.
Temperature Control
Never use boiling water with matcha as it creates bitterness. Aim for 70-80°C for the perfect balance.
Oil Distribution
Cannabis oil can separate, so stir well before each sip to ensure consistent dosing throughout the drink.
Half-Strength Option
New to cannabis drinks? Use just 1ml of cannabis oil for a gentler 5mg dose that’s perfect for daytime sipping.
Milk Choice
Full-fat dairy or oat milk work best for flavour and help with THC absorption. Avoid low-fat alternatives.
Label Everything
Always label your cannabis oil clearly with potency and date. Store securely away from others who might mistake it for regular oil.
Storage Guide
| Method | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh consumption | Immediately | Best enjoyed fresh for optimal flavour and texture |
| Refrigerated (prepared) | 2-3 hours | Stir well before drinking as oil may separate |
| Cannabis oil storage | 6 months | Store in dark, cool place in labelled container |

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! This is a great way to reduce potency while maintaining the creamy texture. Mix 1ml cannabis oil with 1ml regular coconut oil for a milder 5mg dose per serving.
Effects typically begin within 30-90 minutes, with peak effects around 2-3 hours. The caffeine may be felt immediately, but cannabis effects take longer as they must be processed through your digestive system.
Yes, if you’re making your own cannabis oil. Raw cannabis contains THCA which must be converted to THC through heat. Store-bought cannabis oils are already activated and ready to use.
Cannabis coconut oil or MCT oil work best for cold drinks as they remain liquid. Cannabis butter will solidify when cold and won’t mix well with the iced beverage.
Bitter matcha usually means the water was too hot or the powder is culinary grade rather than ceremonial. Use 70-80°C water and invest in quality matcha for the best results.
Stay calm, find a comfortable spot, and wait it out. Drink water, try CBD oil if available, and consider black pepper or lemon for potential relief. Effects will pass within 6-8 hours. Call 13 11 26 if concerned.
