I've been researching every online weed site and forum I can find. I've tried several weed tea recipes and have had "some" luck. So, here's my recipe AND my questions (based on currently available weed tea recipes online):
First, my recipe:
1. I put 2-2.5 grams of ground weed (using a $10 grinder) into a low boiling (212 degrees??) pot of water (2 cups) with a tablespoon of real butter.
2. I let the weed tea boil, covered, on low-medium (setting '4' on my electric stove) for 20-25 minutes.
3. I add a little sweet n low and coffee creamer and drink all the tea at once, and eat/drink the ground up weed, too.
Decarb question -
If decarboxylation is necessary (220 - 250 degrees for 40-45 minutes), how do people get by putting boiling water over a (weed) tea bag and letting it steep for 5-10 minutes?
Should I decarb my weed in the oven first?
Preparation question -
Many tea recipes say, "don't let the water boil down to nothing - if necessary, add more water so you don't boil it dry". Really?? Where does your THC go when you've boiled the water down to nothing? Simply adding water won't help you get strong tea, since you've boiled out most of the THC and water. Someone please explain this to me.
Basically, every weed tea I've tried has contradicting information, so I've just been experimenting with weed amounts (never less than 1.5 grams, as high as 3 grams in one cup of tea), cooking times, and temperatures.
Does ANYONE have a tried and true weed tea recipe that they can share (and that doesn't have contradictory details or incorrect information?
One more thing, my weed is potent, so it's not a matter of low quality bud.
Thanks in advance.
