Hey Lemmings! Need some advice on making weed tea. I’ve noticed some recipes call for decarbing the weed before infusing it into the tea, while others don’t mention it at all. Has anyone tried both methods? Any noticeable differences in potency or taste?
Update: I decarbed a small amount of flower, probaly less than 0.5g , at 115 c for 30 minutes. After that I boiled it with 300ml of water and 2 tbs of butter for 30 mins. As the water evaporated I kept refilling the water.
Can’t really say that it was very potent, maybe not enough flower, or not enough boiling? Wouldn’t recommend based on this experience. Next time I’ll just make cannabutter and put that in the tea.
Sounds like the best way to consume flower. Eliminates the risks of smoking and a free edible batch as a byproduct? Amazing. Too bad vapes still are quite expensive.
The cheapest dry herb vape i’ve seen is vaphit for ~35$ , if you can go a bit higher Dynavap B series is 50$ and if you keep an eye out the dynavap m+ goes on sale for 60-75$ occasionally.
I began the journey with the arizer air max which goes on sale occasionally and its an excellent electronic dry herb vape which I would highly recommend to others. Electronic dry herb vapes are a bit pricier than torch/IH based vapes but they offer precice temp control with little to no chance of combustion. just turn it on and set the temp and you are done
I recommend pairing a vape with a bong of some kind it doesn’t have to be filled with water just something to let vapor travel for a bit, the orb v2 is an awesome bong that lets you use two vapes at once with a whip!
