The dose, worked

60 ml of alcohol tincture × 2.30 mg/ml = 138.1 mg THC (theoretical) ÷ 50 tsp = 2.76 mg per tsp.

Theoretical maximum: it assumes complete decarboxylation (THCA × 0.877) and that every milligram ends up in the food. Real yield is usually lower, which is why you start with one portion and wait. Re-run the maths for your flower →

Ingredients

  • 60 ml alcohol tincture (see the tincture recipe for its potency)

Dosing notes

  • Everything about alcohol safety in the tincture recipe applies here. Air-dry only.
  • The dose per teaspoon depends entirely on the tincture's potency and on stirring well while it dries.

Can I bake with it?

Yes. Swap it for some of the plain sugar and work out the total milligrams in the batch, then divide by the number of pieces.

Educational content, not medical advice. Effects vary with body weight, tolerance and what else you have eaten. Label infused food with the milligrams per portion and the date, and keep it away from children and pets.
