Ingredients
- Chai:
- 1/2 gram cannabis buds
- 1/2 teaspoon butter
- 1 tea bag (any variety)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- Optional: sugar or honey to taste
- milk
- vanilla
- cinnamon/sugar
Preparation
Step 1
1. Grind the cannabis. Separate out stems. Mix the buds with the butter. Make sure the cannabis is completely covered in fat. Empty the tea bag into the bud mix. Mix it with the butter and cannabis. You can place the mixture back into the bag and reseal it. A better option is using a tea ball. Zamnesia’s Tea Infuser is also great kitchen aid for this purpose.
2. Bring the water to a simmering boil in a saucepan. Lower the tea ball or infuser into the water. Let the saucepan simmer for 30 minutes. If the water looks as if it is getting low, add more water during the cook time.
3. Let sit until cool enough to drink. If plant matter got out of the teabag/infuser, be sure to strain the tea before consumption.
OTHER RIFFS ON THE SAME IDEA
It is also possible to make very tasty Chai with cannabis. Instead of using butter, replace one-third of the water with milk. Also, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Add this to the ground cannabis in a blender. Then place it in a saucepan to heat with additional water. Make sure that the milk never boils. You will need to cook this for about 30 minutes. Make sure to also adding water to make sure the pot does not boil dry. Add cinnamon and sugar to taste when done.
