Cannabis-Infused Lemon Ginger Tea Recipe
Cannabis-infused lemon ginger tea is a popular way to enjoy the benefits of both cannabis and the soothing properties of herbal tea. The combination of these ingredients is not only delicious but also provides a range of potential therapeutic effects, including pain relief, relaxation, and anxiety reduction. Here is a step-by-step guide to making your own cannabis-infused lemon ginger tea.
Step 1: Gather your ingredients
To make cannabis-infused lemon ginger tea, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1-2 grams of cannabis
- 2 cups of water
- 1-2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea or tea bags (preferably black tea)
- 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
- 1-2 tablespoons of honey (optional)
Step 2: Decarboxylate your cannabis
Decarboxylation is the process of activating the cannabinoids in your cannabis by exposing them to heat. To decarboxylate your cannabis, preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread your cannabis out on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once finished, let it cool and then grind it up.
Step 3: Make cannabis-infused milk
To make cannabis-infused milk, combine your ground cannabis with 2 cups of milk in a saucepan. Heat the mixture on low heat for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the milk has turned a light brown color, remove it from heat and strain the milk through a cheesecloth or fine strainer. Set aside the infused milk.
Step 4: Brew your tea
Add 2 cups of water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add your loose leaf tea or tea bags and let steep for 3-5 minutes. Remove the tea bags or strain the loose leaf tea.
Step 5: Add lemon and ginger
Slice a lemon and grate a tablespoon of fresh ginger. Add both the lemon and ginger to the tea and let it steep for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Step 6: Combine the infused milk and tea
Pour the cannabis-infused milk into the tea and stir to combine. If desired, add honey to taste. Reheat the mixture if needed and serve.
That’s it! You now have a delicious and potent cannabis-infused lemon ginger tea. It’s important to remember that the potency of your tea will depend on the strength of your cannabis and the amount you use. Start with a small amount and wait at least an hour before consuming more to gauge the effects.
In conclusion, cannabis-infused lemon ginger tea is a tasty and effective way to consume cannabis. By following these simple steps, you can make your own at home and enjoy the many potential benefits of this soothing and relaxing drink. As always, be safe and responsible when consuming cannabis and consult a healthcare professional before use.
