Hey Lemmings! Need some advice on making weed tea. I’ve noticed some recipes call for decarbing the weed before infusing it into the tea, while others don’t mention it at all. Has anyone tried both methods? Any noticeable differences in potency or taste?
I’ve made tea frequently with already vaped flower. You need to let it steep with coffee cream so there’s enough fat (maybe full fat milk but I always have coffee cream). I normally make it with a chai tea blend as it is a good flavor. I let it steep for a while in a teapot covered with a cosy or towel to keep it warm. No issue feeling the effects. It will smell like weed.
I am not a chemist but from what I understand about decarb, steeping it in tea is not sufficient.
Your vaping is like decarbing the weed, I’ll assume that it will be a nescessary step then. Even though many recipes skip this part.
Yes, sorry, that is what I meant when I said I used already vaped flower. It’s effectively decarbed and has about 30% of the potency left (or less depending on how dark).
