Cannabis tea: Advantages and Recipe
In recent times, there have been a large number of new revolutions in the cannabis industry. One of the many revolutions that people have had the chance to see is that if cannabis tea, which is rapidly growing in popularity thanks to the many different benefits,can offer special advantages over other cannabis consumption methods.
What Is Cannabis Tea?
Cannabis tea, at its very simplest, is a brew that is made when cannabis buds have been ground up and subsequently left to infuse in water, thereby releasing the same sort of compounds as one might see in a standard cup of tea.This action helps to produce one of the most incredible cups of tea that you will likely ever have in your life—although the subsequent “high” might be more literal than the so called boost that you get from the caffeine in a normal cup of tea.Of course, when we drink cannabis tea, we aren’t doing so because we particularly crave the taste of the tea; instead, we are drinking tea for the purpose of getting high. And cannabis tea can be an incredibly good way of helping a person to achieve this for a number of different reasons.
Benefits of Cannabis Tea
Cannabis tea offers many different benefits for consumers. According to Nathan Jackson, a cannabis expert at Vela Community,”Not only is drinking cannabis tea far easier and more comfortable for many people—especially new cannabis users. Smoking cannabis can also be an incredibly unpleasant experience, considering the grungy and grimey nature of smoking weed in a dingy room; cannabis tea, by contrast, is easy to take and neat, without giving the distinctive smells that a session of cannabis smoking might give.”
How To Make Cannabis Tea
Making cannabis tea is an incredibly easy process and is thusly one that many cannabis users might want to consider trying. In addition, cannabis tea can be mixed with many different spices and flavorings—such as honey or lemon—without altering the chemical composition of the tea!
The first thing to do when making cannabis tea is to pour three cups of water into your teapot. Allow this water to reach boiling point, and then add two tablespoons of butter along with half a gram of cannabis (ground). This should then be allowed to boil for approximately forty minutes, before then being poured through a cheesecloth in order to remove any larger particles.
The resulting liquid is now nearly ready to use! Simply add a tea bag of your choice and allow this to brew for around 5 minutes, or as long as you might normally brew your tea, and then your weed tea is ready to drink!
After drinking a cup of cannabis tea, a person can normally expect to experience a high after about half an hour. The strength of the high is generally moderate in nature, although, the strength can be increased or decreased to a person’s preferences by altering the brewing times respectively. The high is generally longer and more balanced than when the same amount of weed is smoked directly.
Alternatively, weed tea—once brewed and made—can be stored in the refrigerator for potentially up to a week, depending on the additives (such as milk or sugar). Storing the tea in the refrigerator will help to prevent any of the chemicals in the tea from breaking down over time. It can also be kept around outside of the refrigerator for a short period of time, but will not last nearly as long when stored this way and the resulting high will usually be weaker.
Adding Flavors to Taste
Weed tea certainly isn’t the most palatable drink out there on the market: its primary role is to serve the purpose of helping someone to achieve the high that they so desire. However, by mixing weed tea with a number of other flavorings (such as honey, sugar, milk, lemon, and spices) a person can generally improve the overall flavor of the tea that they have brewed.
When drunk plain, cannabis tea has a distinctive and highly recognisable flavor: it has strong notes of ground and soaked weed, as well as some more subtle hints of butter and standard tea leaves. This results in a flavor that is honestly unlike anything else on the market!
When brewing your tea, you should always think about the strength of high that you want. If you want a stronger high, you should brew the cannabis tea for longer to allow the strength to develop, or otherwise add more cannabis in the first place.
