Hi friends! :tiphat:

Today I'm bringing you a cannabic tea, hope you enjoy it. I decided to use Sweet Afgani Delicious because I know from previous experiences that the taste of this strain goes well with cuisine, so a tea made of this variety will always feature a pleasant flavor, at least to my palate. The quantity of weed used was a small bud (0.5 - 1gr) and some trichomed leaves, enough to get 2 persons a bit stoned. But to get a real stoney high you may have to double the dose. Just don't forget to be careful if you're not used to ingest cannabinoids. In that case it's better to start with just half a cup and 1 hour later, if everything's ok, drink the other half.

:scripture:

As we know, THC is not water-soluble (neither other cannabinoids are), so we have to mix something to act like an emulsifier. Milk, butter or olive oil are very good THC emulsifiers but, as I don't appreciate milk on my tea and mixing butter or olive oil in a tea is a bit repugnant (as they tend to float on the water/tea), I prefer using soy lecithin, which, besides being a very good emulsifier, doesn´t completely change the color of the tea (as milk would) and does not interfere much with its taste.

Soy lecithin (powder or granulated) can be bought in dietetics stores and some people eat it on a daily basis, in order to raise concentration and fight fatigue. So you ain't gonna get tired of drinking this tea :yummy: The lecithin I bought is granulated so I have to smash it a bit to get it powdered, and only then it's ready to mix with the tea, as seen in the pictures below. Well, I was just about to start explaining the procedure, but it's definetely better if I do it through subtitles...

1 - Soy lecithin

2 - Here is the little bud, inside the special tea spoon, with all the holes

picture.php

3 - The lecithin I had was a bit old, so I bought a new one

picture.php

4 - It's beige, slightly pink

picture.php

5 - Better to smash it a little bit before using

picture.php

6 - As it completely dissolves into water, there's no need to have it powdered

picture.php

7 - When the water starts boiling...

picture.php

8 - ...we reduce heat to minimum and add the herbs

picture.php

9 - About 5 minutes later it's time to add the lecithin. A small spoon like this one is enough

picture.php

10 - Leave the heat low for about 15 minutes n' stir it up a couple ou times :clock watch:

picture.php

11 - And the cannabic tea is done :good:

picture.php

12 - One for you and one for me...


Easy, uh?

I again buddys! ;)

Today I decided to re-use this recipe because I have my throat a bit sore and unfortunatelly smoking/vaporizing is not an option... :flu:

That's when this tea is specially useful, so I can get properly baked even in that kind of situations... :coffee:

And it is also medicinal :yummy:

Keep it high! Sweet teas!

Hi Tommy,
I've get some questions:
1. Wouldn't it be better to boil it longer than 15 minutes? Longer boiling = more extracted cannabinoids?
2. Why to add herbs before adding lecithin? As you stated annabinoids are not water-soluble so what's the point? I think it would be better to add lecithin first and then add some herbs.
3. Would adding more lecithin work better for extraction? More lecithine = more extracted cannabinoids?

I know this is old thread, but very interesting to me - I'm huge fan of tea AND herbs ;) I hope someone can answer my questions.
