I posted this in another thread but I wanted to add variations without hijacking the thread.
I love Turmeric Cannabis tea. I start out with a Turmeric tea recipe:
Turmeric Tea (Golden Milk) - 5 Minute Recipe | Wellness Mama
Scroll down the page until you get to Option 1: Dry Turmeric Tea Mix. I Prep the dry mix per the link above and store in a mason jar.
1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil
2. Add 2 tsp of the dry turmeric tea mix.
3. Add 1 tsp either olive oil or coconut oil. Sometimes I've used 2 tsp. ( Organic Extra Virgin)
4. Add 1/4 tsp dried cannabis flower. I am using flowers harvested in May of 2015 from an Auto Blue Mystic. So they're pretty aged. I don't know how much decarboxylation happens over a 2 year period. I have also used decarboxylated flower.
5. Boil vigoriously for 10 minutes. If you're a little more patient than me you can go 12-14 minutes.
6. Pour in a cup. I throw some ice cubes in the pot and swirl around for a moment and pour the melted ice water into my mug.
Optional:
Add a bit of honey.
On my stove and small saucepan the water typically boils down to 1 cup after 10 minutes. So keep an eye on it. Many recipes say to add more water. I never wanted to do that because I didn't want the water to stop boiling. So I just make sure I have enough to start with so I end up with enough to drink without burning my house down.
The dry turmeric mix is:
1/2 cup turmeric powder
1/4 cup cinnamon powder
2 tsp ground black pepper
1-2 TBSP ground ginger
Results for me:
If I drink the tea before dinner the medicine takes effect in 45 minutes. If I drink it after dinner it takes upwards of 5 hours! Once I woke up in the middle of the night and said to myself "oh good, it finally kicked in, it wasn't a waste" Then I fell back to sleep.
I only tried my tea once when I was already high and I didn't notice the effects, but I was a bit groggy the next morning.
When I was first starting I only used 1/8 tsp of dried decarboxylated flower. Now I've settled on 1/4 tsp, sometimes a heaping spoon if it's Friday... Mileage may vary.
