The dose, worked

1 tbsp infused cream × 4.93 mg per tbsp = 4.9 mg THC (theoretical) ÷ 1 portions = 4.93 mg per mug.

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 →

Dosing notes

The infused cream is the only dosed ingredient, and it goes in last, off the heat.

Can I use infused coconut oil instead?

Half a tablespoon of the coconut oil on this site is about the same dose as a tablespoon of the cream; whisk it in hard or it will float.
