- METHOD
2.1 FOR SIMPLE MARIJUANA TEA
- Step 1: Boil Water and Add Fat: Start by boiling 4 cups (950 mL) of water in a saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, milk, or coconut oil. This fat is essential because THC, the compound that causes the psychoactive effects, binds to fats.
- Step 2: Add Marijuana and Simmer: Once the water is boiling, lower the heat to a simmer. Add 1 gram of ground marijuana buds and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. This allows the THC to bind with the fat, infusing the tea.
- Step 3: Strain the Mixture: After simmering, strain the tea into a mug using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. This will remove the cannabis plant material, leaving you with a smooth liquid.
- Step 4: Steep Tea and Add Sweetener: If you want to add extra flavor, steep a tea bag of your choice in the mug for 3 minutes. Strong teas like peppermint or ginger can help mask the cannabis flavor. Add sweetener to taste, and enjoy your tea.
2.2 MARIJUANA CHAI LATTE
- Step 1: Grind Ingredients: Combine 1 inch of fresh ginger, ½ teaspoon each of cardamom pods and whole cloves, and 1 gram of marijuana buds. Grind them together using a mortar and pestle or a blender.
- Step 2: Prepare a Spice Bag: Place the ground mixture into a small cheesecloth or tea infuser to make a spice bag.
- Step 3: Simmer the Milk: Heat 1 cup (240 mL) of whole milk on low heat until it simmers. Stir regularly to prevent the milk from burning.
- Step 4: Steep the Spices: Add the spice bag to the simmering milk and let it steep for 2 hours. Stir occasionally to make sure it doesn’t scald.
- Step 5: Serve and Sweeten: Once the chai latte is ready, strain the milk into a mug, discard the spice bag, and add sweetener if desired. For a richer flavor, you can add a drop of vanilla or even steep a chai tea bag in the milk before drinking.
- CONCLUSION
Marijuana tea can offer a slower onset of effects compared to smoking, so wait at least 2-3 hours before consuming more. Always start with a small amount and adjust based on your personal tolerance. Enjoy this alternative way to consume cannabis in a flavorful and soothing beverage.
