How to make a Chinese-style cannabis brew

I bet y'all were wondering when I would get to the meat of this vegetarian brew.
Me too! I kept getting side-tracked with research.​

Ingredients

8-9 grams of fresh cannabis (leaves, stems, buds)
1.5 cups of water
1 tablespoon of coconut oil​

Instructions

Chop about 8-9 grams of freshly harvested cannabis on a dinner plate with a sharp, sterilized scissors.

​

Stuff the chopped cannabis into Chinese tea infuser.

​

Add 1.5 cups of water into the slow cooker.
Place infuser into the slow cooker.
Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil into the infuser, on top of the cannabis.

​

Brew on high heat.

​

Check back in an hour.
Press down on the cannabis with a bent dinner spoon.
Brew for another hour and check a couple of times to
press the cannabis with a bent dinner spoon.

​

At the end of all this slow cooker brewing, you should have a beautiful, golden olive brew to use in other recipes. This brew may be too potent to drink on its own which is why I use it with other liquids to make coffee, hot cocoa and soups.

​

As for tea, you use what's left in the infuser to brew:

Fragrant Canna Jasmine Green Tea

That's right! Don't toss the stuff in the infuser away yet. You can make 2 cups of mildly relaxing tea!

​

Instructions for a single serving of tea:

Place infuser in a tea cup.

​

Place your favorite single serving tea bag into the infuser.
I'm using fragrant jasmine green tea because the slight mint
flavor of tender Blue Blood leaves with a hint of coconut
smells amazing and tastes yummy together.

​

Pour piping hot water into the infuser until the water reaches the edge of
the tea cup and steep for 3 minutes.

​

Lift infuser a few times in a light swishing motion of your hand.

​

OMG! Tea time!
​

You can place the infuser in a small paper lunch bag and store in the refrigerator for one more use. Just take out the old tea bag and use a new tea bag. Alternately, you can place the infuser in a ceramic tea pot, add two bags of tea into the infuser and pour 2 cups of piping hot water and brew for 3 minutes. If you require a more potent pick-me-up, add a few spoons of the slow cooker brew to your tea. Unless you used mature, high THC buds, you should not be getting high on this tea. It's just mildly relaxing.
