Making Your Own Cannabis Tea: A Soothing Drink for Winter Evenings

Warm up your winter nights with a steaming cup of homemade cannabis tea, offering both comfort and therapeutic benefits.

As winter blankets the world in its chilly embrace, there’s nothing quite as comforting as a hot drink to warm up with. For the cannabis enthusiasts among us, why not elevate the usual nighttime tea with a little green goodness? Here, at Weed Queens, we guide you through crafting your very own cannabis-infused tea to make those frosty nights a tad more toasty.

Understanding Cannabis Infusion:

Before diving into the brew, it’s essential to understand a bit about cannabis and its solubility. THC and CBD, the primary cannabinoids in cannabis, are not water-soluble. They need a fat source to be effectively infused into a drink. This means, for a genuinely potent tea, one needs to introduce a fat like coconut oil or butter to the mix.

Classic Cannabis Tea Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 gram of decarboxylated cannabis (finely ground)
• 1 cup of boiling water
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or unsalted butter
• Your favorite tea bag (Chamomile, green tea, or any other)
• Honey or sugar to taste

Instructions:

1. Mix the finely ground cannabis with your chosen fat (coconut oil or butter) to create a paste.
2. Place this cannabis mixture and your tea bag into a tea infuser.
3. Pour boiling water over the infuser and let steep for about 10-15 minutes.
4. Remove the infuser, and add honey or sugar to taste.
5. Enjoy your warming cannabis-infused tea!

Customizing Your Cannabis Tea:

• Herbs & Spices: Enhance your tea with additional herbs like mint, lavender, or spices like cinnamon and cardamom for added flavor and aroma.
• Milk & Cream: For a creamy variant, add some warm milk or a splash of cream to your tea.
• CBD vs. THC: Depending on your preference, you can use either CBD-dominant or THC-dominant strains. CBD will offer relaxation without the psychoactive effects.

Benefits of Cannabis Tea:

1. Gentle Effects: Unlike smoking or vaping, drinking cannabis-infused tea provides a milder and more prolonged effect, ideal for evening relaxation.
2. Digestive Aid: For centuries, cannabis tea has been used to aid digestion and soothe the stomach.
3. Therapeutic Relaxation: Combined with herbs like chamomile or lavender, cannabis tea can offer added relaxation benefits.

Making your cannabis tea offers a delightful way to enjoy cannabis’s therapeutic effects during the cold winter months. As the steam rises from your cup and the aromatic blend fills the air, take a moment to appreciate the calm and warmth this special brew brings to your evening.
