WEED STEM TEA LATTE
STEM TEA LATTE – Because smoking is not everyone’s cup of tea.
Weed-Stem tea screams “Winter is Coming”. Maybe it’s because we’re located in the northern regions, but when the temperature drops, nothing quite beats sipping a warm cuppa tea.
If you’re someone that throws their stems away, you’re missing out! The cannabis plant is a wonder of nature, and every part of the plant has some value it can give – including the stems!
Cannabis stems are packed with plenty of beneficial trichomes containing cannabinoids, including THC, along with terpenes and flavonoids.
BUT WILL I GET HIGH?
Indeed! It’s a bit milder and less potent than weed tea made from flowers and leaves, but if you have enough stems you can definitely make something that can get you high.
How high? Put it this way – you won’t be stumbling around your house in search of the lost remote and half-eaten bag of Doritos. Cannabis stem tea is more suitable for persons who are sensitive to THC or those looking for a calming low-key experience. In our opinion, it also is a very practical way to use those stems you might have otherwise tossed.
Here’s how to take your average tea NEXT LEVEL…
INGREDIENTS: Weed Tea with Stems
1/4 cup of cannabis stems (just add more stems and/or weed to increase potency.)
One cup of Half and Half
Three cups of water
Tea that will taste good with dairy (In general, bold, astringent black teas will be your best bets for adding milk and sugar).
Raw sugar
Honey
(WEEDTEA10)
INSTRUCTIONS: Weed Tea With Stems
Use your handy-dandy coffee grinder to grind the stems. This will allow more THC to be extracted.
In a medium-sized pot, add the cream and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. THC is only soluble in lipids (fat/oil) so don’t use water.
Add ground stems to the pot and boil for approximately 5-7 minutes. Stir often and DO NOT LEAVE the kitchen!
Using a filter, strain the mixture into a cup. Keep stirring until you get all the liquid through. About 1/2 a cup of Half and Half should be left.
Brew double the amount of tea you normally would. This will help overpower the taste of the dairy since it is not the most pleasant flavour. Making double the amount ensures there won’t be too much dairy in each serving
Get out your favourite mug and add 1/4 cup (half of your ‘special’ Half and Half) to your tea. It makes two mugs total #sharingiscaring
Sweeten your weed tea with raw sugar or a little honey to help cut the taste of the cream even more. (I like to add cinnamon sticks while I brew to tea)
Enjoy.

STAY LIFTED WEED FAM!
Duuude we’ve just been tossing stems, I’m gonna start saving them to try this out now. Will report back 🙂
please do!
My wife who doesn’t consume cannabis in any other way enjoys leaf tea. I was skeptical but with some honey in it or brewed with a bit of fresh mint it tastes pretty good.
I’ll have to try the mint next time! 🙂
Great article, the comment about putting the grounds into the boiling cream is so important! I feel like alot of people just try to strain their stems into hot water and that will NOT produce significant effects LOL
or any at all!, the fats are where its at 🙂
we ve been doing this for a while during cold days! haha its really good to help shovel! great reading again 🙂
I need to try this sometime! Normally I just vape my stems (which works surprisingly well).
Need to try this!! Got about 2 cups of stems probably in a huge baggie all mosty for your guys fire!! So should work good
Man I have been saving my stems for the past year and I had no idea what to use them for. Now I do. Thanks KT !
Wow, i never thought the stem would have enough cannaibnoids left over for any effect, cool!
I’ve heard this is a good use for trimmings! Torn between this, or that new smoothie recipe lol
