Tea and decarbing (lemm.ee)

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.

My understanding is that the hot water in steeping would decarb it. I haven't done tea, but I've made Pot Chocolate and heating the milk decarbed the weed pretty well.

The steeping will decarb some of the THC so you can still get high off it but decarbing weed first will make it so that you have to use much less weed to get that same high. Hell you can even get high off just eating straight raw weed but most of the THC gets wasted when you do that.y favourite method is to make weed butter then blend it with a tea or coffee to make an infused weed butter cappuccino.

Omg infused butter cappucino on a sunday morning, couldn't have a bad day after that.
