Cannabidiol, more commonly known as CBD, has taken the world by storm due to its numerous health and wellness benefits. One of the most popular ways to consume this magical compound is by making a soothing cup of CBD tea. So let's dive into how to make the perfect tea using CBD flower.
Selecting your CBD flower
Before we get into the actual process of making the tea, it's essential to know what type of CBD weed you'll be using. Different strains offer different flavours, aromas, and therapeutic properties. Be sure to choose a high-quality hemp strain known for its rich CBD content.
Important Considerations when Choosing your CBD Hemp Strain
- Verify lab test results to ensure the strain contains low THC levels, ideally less than 0.2%.
- Research reputable brands and purchase from sources that practice sustainable farming practices.
- Select a strain offering flavour profiles and preferences suited to your tastes.
Gathering Necessary Ingredients and Equipment
To make the perfect CBD weed tea, you'll need some essential ingredients and equipment:
- CBD weed
- A tea infuser (optional)
- Fat source, e.g., coconut oil or full-fat creamer
- Tea leaves or pre-packaged tea bags
- Your choice of sweetener (sugar, honey, stevia, etc.)
- Water
In addition to the list above, it would be best if you also had some necessary equipment:
- A tea mug, preferably one that is heat resistant
- A spoon or stirring rod
Creating Your CBD Weed Tea
Now we get down to making your perfect cup of CBD flower tea! Follow these easy steps:
- Boil water using your preferred method (kettle or stovetop).
- If using loose tea leaves, add them to your infuser and place it inside your mug. If using a teabag, simply place it in the mug.
- Pour the boiling water into your mug and steep the tea according to the packaging instructions, usually between 3-5 minutes.
Extracting CBD with Fat
Since CBD is fat-soluble and not water-soluble, you'll need a fat source like coconut oil or full-fat creamer in your tea for efficient absorption. This step is crucial for reaping the therapeutic benefits of CBD.
- If using decarboxylated CBD weed directly in the tea, add your desired amount (start with a small portion and adjust as necessary) to the infuser or directly into the tea if an infuser isn't available.
- Allow the mixture to steep for an additional 2-7 minutes, depending on the strength of the tea and CBD within the water before gently stirring.
- Remove the teabag or infuser from your mug, and stir in your choice of sweetener.
You've now successfully made your perfect cup of CBD weed tea! Feel free to sip and savour at your leisure, allowing the therapeutic effects of cannabidiol to soothe your body and mind.
Experimenting with Flavours and Blends
The beauty of crafting your own CBD hemp tea is that you can experiment endlessly with different flavour profiles and combinations. Blend your CBD flower with various tea types: black, green, white, oolong, herbal, and fruit teas each lend their unique flavours and properties.
Additionally, don't hesitate to try out other all-natural enhancements like spices, dried fruits, or even a splash of non-dairy milk. The possibilities are limitless when it comes to concocting your ideal cup of CBD flower tea.
With this guide in hand, you're sure to be fully equipped to create the perfect CBD weed tea to support your overall health and wellness. So sit back, relax, and let the soothing powers of CBD uplift and rejuvenate your spirit.
