Things that you’ll need for Weed Stem Tea

  • ¼ to ½ cup of cannabis stems, we prefer you use stems from organic sources
  • Dried weed or leaves to improve potency and taste
  • 3 cups of filtered water
  • Coffee filters 
  • A bag of tea, your choice of flavor 
  • Alcohol, whole milk or coconut milk (as a binding agent)

 

If you’re using alcohol, use 2 to 3 tablespoons. For whole milk, use ½ cup and for coconut milk, use ½ cup

  • ½ tablespoon of unsalted butter or coconut oil 

Instructions – How to Make Weed Stem Tea

1) Grind the stems

The first step is actually optional. You can grind your stems or not and consider the pros and cons of each. 

Grinding the stems is done by using a handy hand-held grinder. You may also use other similar objects and tools like a food processor or juicer. The advantages of grinding the stems are to increase the surface area of the stems and thus will enhance potency. However, some people don’t grind because this is very messy (especially when you’re just using a small hand-held grinder), and the flavor becomes stronger. So if you’re looking for a potent effect and you can stomach a bitter flavor, you may grind your stems. 

So how to grind your stems? Take fresh stems and cut these into very small pieces around ¼ inches in length. If you’re using a small grinder or pocket-sized grinder used to grind dried weed, use a blade with larger teeth to grind the chunky stems. Grind a teaspoon at a time. Set aside the stems that you have prepared. 

If you’re using a food processor, you don’t need to cut the stems. The tool will grind the stems to a smaller bit, enough to use as tea. And if you don’t have a grinder or a food processor, you may use a sharp pair of scissors to process your stems. Cut the stems as small as possible. Set the processed stems aside. 

2) Boil water 

For ½ cup of processed stems, use three cups of water to make your tea. Use a saucepan or a teapot to boil water. The water should boil before you add other ingredients like milk, butter, coconut oil, or alcohol. 

A fatty binding agent like milk, butter, alcohol, or coconut oil is used because THC in cannabis stems and other plant parts combine with fat, and doing so enhances the potency of the weed stem tea. If you want to add alcohol, add this after the tea has boiled so it won’t start evaporating. Bring all the ingredients to a boil under low heat. 

3) Add the stems

As the mixture starts to boil, add the freshly-ground stems and let this boil up to 10 minutes. As the concoction boils, stir it frequently using a spoon. 

You can use a reusable teabag that’s large enough to hold the processed stems. A reusable teabag is better as you can strain the stems faster and more efficiently. You may also use a stainless-steel tea infuser, a mesh ball strainer that allows you to make all kinds of teas and tea blends. 

4) Add trims or plant material if you wish

As the tea is steeping in the pot in newly boiled water, it’s time to add more flavor and enhance potency by adding other plant materials like some shake, trim or nugs, anything goes. Although this is an optional step, this is perfect for enhancing the taste and potency of your tea. But you can always skip this step if you think that you already have a potent tea. 

5) Strain the stems

When your tea is made, it’s time to strain the stems and other plant material. This is an important part of the tea-making process as no one wants to sip anything solid in their tea! If you used a tea bag or a tea strainer ball, then this won’t have to be a problem as you simply remove the bag or the ball from the tea. But if you did not use these tools, take the coffee filter and place this over a cup. 

Pour the tea slowly into the coffee filter and wait till the stems have been removed. You may also secure the coffee filter around the teapot spout with a rubber band to keep the plant material from pouring out. If you’re using a saucepan, choose a kitchen strainer to remove the stems.

You may also use cheesecloth to remove the plant material from the tea. Cheesecloth is better when straining fresh tea like weed stem tea because you can hold the cheesecloth and squeeze any excess tea out. Remember, you want potent tea, so you must consider the best way to strain it.   

6) Add some spice

After your tea has been strained, add extra ingredients to improve its flavor. You can add a little sugar to sweeten it up, or you may also use honey or molasses to create a sweet blend. If you want to bring out a fruity flavor or a flowery flavor, you can steep floral teas or a bag of flowery tea together with the potent weed stem tea. 

Here are a few suggestions: 

  • Go to the store to get a bulk of your favorite dried herbs. You can mix these dried herbs with your freshly-cut stems. 
  • Aside from ready to use herbs, you may also use other materials like fresh fruit such as ginger, lemon, and many more. Just use a vegetable peeler and peel a small part of the skin or the rind. Place these on a baking sheet and dry these in an oven with a temperature of 200 degrees for around 2 hours or more. After this designated time, remove these from the oven and let these remain on the pantry overnight. These will be good to use in the morning. Before use, chop or grind these into smaller pieces.
  • Use lavender to add to your weed stem tea. It is a popular flavor that will give your potent weed tea some zing.
  • And if you’re looking for a zesty kick, add a few drops of lemon and a small slice of fresh ginger. Ginger and lemon pairs well with weed stem tea. This is especially great when you want a very potent brew, and you also want a pleasant-tasking tea.
