- , by Noah van Knippenberg
- 4 min reading time
Let’s be real: learning how to make weed tea is about more than just tossing some greens into hot water. If you do it wrong, it tastes like pond water and does next to nothing. But do it right? You’ve got yourself a powerful, smoke-free alternative for your downtime.
Whether you’re curious about weed tea for sleep or just want a chill evening, this recipe helps you get the most out of your cannabis. Of course, the best tea starts at the source. Want full control over quality? Check out our high-quality cannabis seeds to grow your own supply.
Preparation: What You’ll Need
Ingredients for your Cannabis Tea Recipe:
- Cannabis: 0.5 - 1 gram (Remember: start low, go slow).
- Fat source: A knob of butter or a spoonful of coconut oil for a vegan option. This is your secret weapon; without fat, the active compounds (like THC) simply won't dissolve.
- Water: 500 ml (about 2 cups).
- Flavorings (optional): Honey, lemon, or a herbal tea bag (chamomile is perfect for the evening).
Supplies:
- Grinder: To grind your bud evenly.
- Saucepan: A small pot for the actual brewing.
- Tea infuser or filter bag: To keep the plant material contained.
- Fine strainer: For a smooth result without leftover plant bits.
Step-by-Step: How to Make Cannabis Tea
1. Prep the Fat Base
Melt the butter or coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Meanwhile, use your grinder to finely crumble the cannabis.
2. The "Coating" for Maximum Potency
Add the ground weed to the melted fat in the pan. Stir well until every particle of cannabis is covered in a glossy layer of fat. This ensures that the THC and CBD actually end up in your cannabis tea instead of just sticking to the side of your pot.
3. Flavor Boost: The Tea Bag Hack
Take a regular tea bag (like chamomile or mint) and carefully cut it open. Mix the loose tea herbs directly with the fat-coated cannabis in the pan. By mixing them now, the flavors and active compounds blend perfectly. Place this entire mixture into your tea infuser or filter bag.
4. Simmering the Weed Tea
Bring the 500 ml of water to a boil in the pan and drop in your filled tea infuser. Let it simmer for **at least 30 minutes**. Keep an eye on the water level; if too much evaporates, just splash a little more in.
5. Strain and Serve
After half an hour, pour the tea through a fine strainer into your mug. This filters out the last bits of weed and herbs for a smooth drinking experience. Add honey or lemon to taste, and your weed tea is ready!

Not in the mood to stand over a steaming pot for half an hour, or finding it tricky to get the dosage right? Our THC edibles are the perfect alternative.

Effects: Pros and Cons of the Long Game
Drinking weed tea has unique characteristics compared to smoking:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Long-lasting effects (6 to 12 hours), ideal for a good night's sleep. | Slow onset: It takes 30 to 90 minutes to kick in. |
| Better for your lungs. | Harder to dose for beginners. |
Pro-tip: If you don't feel anything after 30 minutes, wait at least 120 minutes. The biggest rookie mistake is immediately drinking a second cup. Give your digestion time to do its thing!
Turn Your Evening into a Ritual
Whether you choose the deep, earthy tones of your homemade brew or the refined taste of our CBD tea, it’s all about the moment. Since the cannabis tea effects come on slowly, you have all the time in the world to drift off into those wonderful aromas.
