Weed tea?

[JDU]

Anyone ever made it?
How were the results? Immediate buzz or more like an edible?
Any hints or tricks? Do I need to use a lot?
Thanks in advance- I'm askin for my date tonight. She wants to try it. 😎

I'm not quite old enough to have forgotten the 60s but the 80s were pretty damn cloudy for me

[desertdan]

Used to make it all the time, back when, like 70s and 80s. Saved all my stems till I had gallon bag full then mix it with water and a pint of the strongest cheapest liquor I could find. boiled it for about 3 hours. Took it to parties and everyone loved it. It was real good. I think.

I had an old girlfriend who would take all the stems after harvest and make a tea with it. I've heard stories of the Rastas in Jamaica using the rootball and making teas with that as well. I'm not a huge tea fan myself, but when I had it, it was more of a warm, mellow body buzz.

I make Bhang, a form of tea, regularly. Its very potent. I take 3 cups water, 2 to 3 grams flower, tablespoon of butter or coconut butter, simmer 2 hrs. Just light bubbling boil. Not rolling. It seems more intense than RSO, and seems to last longer.

Does it taste like weed? And does it kick in faster than edibles? I need pain & muscle relief, RSO, edibles & dispo drinks have always taken 100 mg minimum to help. Now that I'm ready to harvest I can soon afford different ways to use (enough) weed as medicine.

[Woodsman67]

Totally my experience/preferences. Dosing is different for all. I hope it helps you in some way!
I personally find the effects intensified by this method over the oil. I make some great oil, but this is more of an indulgence. The draw back is making it takes 2 hrs, but it smells great cooking. Just don't use too high a temp, just a light bubbling boil, use a tablespoon of coconut oil or butter per 2 grams, use ground weed for best transfer of cannabinoids, strain if you don't like chewy tea. On really bad days it's a treat worth waiting for. Id suggest using heavy indicas for awesome pain, spastic and sleep med. Terpine profile is definitely in the Bhang. Once its done, strain and add an herbal tea and honey if you want a different taste.

[ChadWestport]

Woodsman67 Bhang is a new one to me. Is it a thick oil like RSO? Is it something you smoke or do you eat it?

[ChadWestport]

interesting. Thanks Puglover1

[Woodsman67]

I use cannabis for pain and spasticity, RSO is great for relief, the tea is just more enjoyable but has the same great benefits. The tea, needs simmered not just steeped so you can achieve full decarb. Starting with 3 cups, you will end up with around 2 cups of tea, there are alot of variations, I do it the basic traditional way. Start with a gram or so and adjust as needed, its a great way to relax and medicate.

Thanks Woodsman67

[JDU]

Thank all y'all for the ideas n advice!
We ended up using 2 of the metal loose tea holders in a pot of water, Brought it to a light boil & let it simmer while we ate. It sure relaxed her (she don't use) but I still prefer a pipe. But again- Thanks! This forum rocks!!

[Bowhunterwoody]

Bhang sounds really easy. I don't smoke and I have a real sleep problem. Sounds perfect.

[PLreef]

I gotta admit, bhang sounds interesting. Ill have to give it a shot some time this week.

[poeras]

Never tried such thing, but I would like to I guess I like different weed products a lot, and I think they are pretty good and very healthy for you. I often get some regular meds from online pharmacy, but I also take cannabis products which work great for me

[Woodsman67]

I almost forgot my favorite! Make the tea, or Bhang, then add a pack or 2 of hot cocoa. Camp fire treat like no other

[JDU]

Cocoa. Nice!
I was thinkin it might be good if I used it to brew a pot of coffee...

[Woodsman67]

You could add coffee to it, but you need the fat to carry the canabinoids, and the simmer time for Decarb. I am sure this winter, I will be trying several recipes just because lol. The joy of growing 😁

[Woodsman67]

French press the coffee WITH the Bhang. 😳 thanks for coffee idea! I use a French press while camping so this will be a great morning wake and bake sometime lol.

[SoOrbudgal]

Oh boy this sounds so good with the coco thanks you guys.

[Puglover1]

I just simmered 3 cups of water with stems, trim & tiny buds from last night's dry trimming, used hemp oil instead of butter or coco-oil, and splashed in some tincture I made last year but never evaporated. Been using it as the 1 teaspoon of booze for my homemade mango sorbet. It really reduced, looks nice and golden. I need to go strain it but not sure what I want to make to drink.
