Failsafe Pot-Tea

I've heard tons of stuff about Pot-Tea all over this forum and even some stuff circulating around my group of friends about it. Making tea from your bud is actually a very efficient way to use it, but only if you do it right, so here is a little tutorial on Pot-Tea.

First of all, making tea with your cannabis is technically not making tea at all, and if you want it to be efficient, don't bother using water because THC and cannabinoids in Marijuana are NOT water soluble, however, they are extremely FAT soluble. Keeping this in mind, the best solvent for your tonic is whole milk.

Now, for the process:

Materials:
1/8th of headies.
A cooking pot.
Large mouth glass jar.
Half cup of whole milk or heavy cream.


1. Grind your cannabis to a chunky texture, not too fine.
2. Boil water in a deep pot.
3. Put about half a cup of milk into a large mouth jar.
4. Put the grinded cannabis onto a baking sheet or tinfoil, place in preheated oven (350 degrees) for about 5 minutes.
5. Put cannabis into jar with milk.
6. Place jar into boiling water bath on stove and let it soak for about 30 minutes. This will extract the warm THC from the cannabis and allow the fat in the milk to absorb it. This portion of the procedure is the most important. Make sure that your apparatus is as follows: Water boiling on stove in a pot, jar with milk and weed placed into boiling water, sit for 30 minutes.
7. Now take the jar from the cooking pot and let it cool.

Essentially the milk is now an effective medium for THC consumption. It can be consumed plain, as chocolate milk and it can be used as creamer in coffee, tea etc. This recipe was inspired by another recipe on the forum for Green Dragon. This is for those who wish to skip the alcohol and simply get high:smokin:

awesome walkthrough man, i'll definitly do this some time.

niceee, jus 1 question, if drinkin pure, jus with the milk, no tea or anythign, how fuked will it get u?. liek a firecracker?

If this is anything like other ways of ingesting pot I doubt it's an 'instant high'. Probably takes 30 minutes to an hour, but that's just a guess on my part.

I just want to state that I'm a complete both idiot with cooking and with bud, so forgive me for my dumb questions but.....

when you say "headies" are you talking about cheap stuff? Cause I just got some medical for $75 an eigth and I sure wouldn't want to use all this stuff on one drink!! Orrrrr...does this make a lot? Is it meant to be high concentrate so it should be mixed with other drinks?

Orrrr....do most people that cook with cannabis grow their own stuff? Because most of the recipes I've read call for a lot, and I'm not that rich!! :(

shwagg/reg/whatever you want to call it (Low grade) is perfectly fine for cooking with, and definitely a lot cheaper. Still gets you baked.

So, a whole 1/8th of headies for one serving? Seems kinda wasteful to me... or maybe you just have a much higher tolerance than I do.

Yeah, an 1/8 of headies is a waste for one serving, I only use a gram of headies for my hot cocoa. And you don't have to put the weed in the oven either, it heats up in the milk as it boils. Nor do you have to go through the trouble of using a jar or whatever. Although I do use the a pot of boiling water that I set the pot of milk in and use a gram per serving, so if 3 people are gonna have the hot cocoa, I use 3 cups of milk, usually poor it in the cups that we use first to get the measurement right and 3 grams of headies and slow boil it for an hour and stirring occasionally. And for your recipe, you should do an hour as well, since you're using a full 1/8 of headies on one serving, give it time to absorb all the THC from the herb, the longer the herb is in the milk, the more THC it absorbs.

im gonna try this soon, with ground up stems from about.. probly a half pound of bud

I don't understand the reason for having the bud+milk in a glass jar inside a pot of boiling water....I'm sure there is a good reason for doing this so maybe somebody can explain why you can't just simply have the bud+milk in the pot directly over the stove? If heat is an issue, couldn't you just heat it a little lower than boiling?

Also....what else could be used instead of milk for those of us that are lactose intolerant? I am usually fine if I drink a little bit of milk, but I'm just a little curious and thought it would be a good question to have answered for others that can't even drink a cup of milk.

Regular soy milk works alright. But its fat content is more similar to 2%. You could drizzle in some vegetable oil (or animal fat, I guess), but it could get pretty nasty pretty quickly. Goat milk has a lower amount of lactose.

has anyone tried to make a cottage or goat cheese like this I beat that would be so amazing with som fruit or somthing. Does any one know how to make these cheeses you heat, strain , and then cool I bet this would be amazing. Even a feta cheese to add to your pizza or pasta, lasaunias. Wow when its legal for me to get medical (if ever) I am gonna try this, since if I screw it up the expence wont be as bad.

That sounds pretty nasty...I'll just use regular milk lol.

I still don't understand the reason for having the milk in a jar placed inside a pot of boiling water, also, I'm sure many people making tea probably have way higher of a tolerance than I do, couldn't I just use the same amount I would typically use for a bowl I would smoke and heat that in the milk to get the same effect? I would assume I would get just as high as long as I heated the bud in the milk long enough right?

The reason I'm trying to be cheap on bud is because I finally got some GDP, (packing in bong for first test after I post this), which everyone says is great for Crohn's, so to me it doesn't make sense to use lower quality bud that doesn't have the same Crohn's fighting abilities...however, this stuff is expensive as hell so I'm sure as hell not going to use a lot, using an 8th would make that cup of tea one expensive (and probably way too powerful for me) drink lol

Whats GDP??? Grand daddy purps??? Yeah you can use what ever amount you want you want a dose like you smoke a bout a gram or more per serving or what ever half a gram

dude an 8th lasts me weeks...im a damn lightweight lol i could prob just toss in a tiny nug and be good for the night....will try this soon :D and yes grand daddy purple....really good and smells great!

I would never use more than 100 mg of weed in my drink again. Unless I started using more frequently, like once a week.

You should use between 250 mg (one bowl) and 1 g (a joint).

Please check my thread, it shows you some different options and will give you a better idea of the range of methods.

Sorry....this is just a double post on accident

Oh my God I had to log in again and for a second thought I lost all of this text....i have done that in the past and it pisses me off soooo much....anyway.....

Well I made.....something lol I'm letting it cool down in the fridge and I'll try it tomorrow...this is what I did:

I didn't have a glass jar to put the milk+bud in to have that set in a larger pot of boiling water, so instead I just used a small pot and heated it on low. However, I added some butter thinking more fat=better results....I don't know if that's true or not this is my first time cooking anything with cannabis.

I broke up the bud and put it in the oven for 7 minutes at 325, and had the milk with butter heat up. After the 7 minutes I put the bud into the milk and stirred frequently for about 30 minutes. At the last minute I added some hersheys chocolate milk to give it some flavor, because without it I'm sure it'd be nasty! I might add more tomorrow after it is fully cooled down

Now, I did notice that the bud would float as well as the butter, so I was thinking maybe let it set for a few moments before stirring it again, to perhaps extract more thc and cannaboids since the butter has a lot more fat than the whole milk, I don't know if that made a difference or not though, but I did it anyway. I do wish I had ground up or cut the but into much finer pieces, I thought I did a good job at breaking it up but once I dropped it in the milk I knew I wouldn't be looking forward to swallowing those chunks....I did try to strain it out some afterwords, but I think I should invest in either some good small scizzors, or a grinder if I can get one for not too much (how much are they anyway?)

I also think I see why you have the milk in the glass jar, because I got a pretty nasty looking film around the rim and all on the bottom of the pot when I was done, and when I checked the milk I had put into the freezer to cool down I noticed another film was growing on top. It looks nasty, but I'm hoping it'll be good once i remove the film lol

Do you think I heated it too long? I didn't know how long I should do it, and maybe if I did it shorter at higher temp I wouldn't get any film. I don't know, I'm a noob in the cooking world lol

Any suggestions, comments??

I would be afraid of getting rid of the film in case it contains mucho fat and THC.

I think you don't need to heat it more than 10 minutes if you prebake the weed, just keep on a low heat and stir frequently. When heating milk a film often develops, just don't have the milk boiling.
