The dose, worked

1 tsp infused honey × 2.47 mg per tsp = 2.5 mg THC (theoretical) ÷ 1 portions = 2.47 mg per glass.

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

Wait the full onset window before a second glass; liquids are not reliably faster than other edibles.

Can I batch it for guests?

Batch the lemon, mint and water. Add the measured teaspoon of honey per glass at serving time so every glass is a known dose, and tell your guests what is in it.

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.
