- 1 teaspoon herbal tea of your choice (or 1 tea bag)
- 1½ cups water
- ¼ teaspoon, or desired amount, of cannabis tincture*
- Honey, milk, or sugar to taste
Cannabis Tincture is available commercially, but here are the ingredients to make your own:
- 1.75 grams cannabis flower (~20% THC), coarsely ground
- ¼ cup Everclear (or substitute 100 proof or higher vodka)
Instructions:
- (For Homemade Tincture): Preheat your oven to 245°F (120°C). Grind the cannabis buds coarsely with a hand or electric grinder, and spread the ground cannabis evenly on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake it in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting. This process is called decarboxylation.
- Mix the decarboxylated cannabis with the Everclear in a mason jar and leave overnight. The next day before you use it, strain out the liquid and reserve it. Make sure you mark it clearly for safety. Always shake before use.
- When you’re ready to make tea, simply put the tincture in at the same time you prepare your herbal tea according to instructions (usually around 5 minutes of steeping in near boiling water). Add honey, milk, or sugar to taste. Enjoy when steeped to your liking.
