Stoney says: start low, go slow — the forest isn't going anywhere. Wait 90 minutes before seconds.

Steps

  1. Put the water, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and cardamom in a small pan and bring to a boil. Lower to a bare simmer for 8 minutes — a hard rolling boil pushes the spices bitter.
  2. Turn the heat off completely. Add the tea bags and let them sit for 5 minutes, no longer, then lift them out and squeeze them against the side of the pan.
  3. Strain the spices out. Off the heat, stir the sugar into the hot brew until it fully dissolves, then stir in the vanilla. You'll have roughly 300 ml of dark, sweet syrup.
  4. Cool it completely — pan to jar, jar to fridge, at least 90 minutes. Do not rush this and do not dose a warm pan.
  5. Measure exactly 10 level tablespoons (150 ml) of the cold syrup into your dosing bottle. The remainder goes into a second bottle marked NO DOSE.
  6. Stir the full 50 mg of tincture into the dosing bottle for 30 seconds, cap, shake 20 seconds. Shake before each pour.
  7. To build a mug: jigger one tablespoon of syrup into a mug, warm the milk until steaming but not boiling, pour it over and stir. Over ice it takes the same single spoon.
  8. Label both bottles now. The dosed one reads: Masala Chai Syrup · 50 mg THC total · 10 servings · 5 mg per tablespoon · 21+ only · shake before pouring. Date it; it keeps about two weeks cold.
