TeaHC?

Does anyone know if it is possible to make a tea with dried leaf cuttings? If so, how?

use evaporated milk, cut with boiling water.

cook the trim in simmering milk for about 10-20 mins, then strain off. you can make real tea and use the evaporated cannamilk as a creamer

ps, fdd has a good cannacoffee thread... i think it's called "kief coffee"

Your best bet would be to extract the resin or trichomes from the leaves first and then use that to make tea.

I have done it with ground up bud and used a coffe maker with a reusable filter.

I have heard that thc is not water soluble so it needs something fatty to attach to so you can extract it.

You would probally do good to grind the leaves and then boil them in milk.
Then extract the plant matter and use milk for coffee or european tea.

THC isn't soluble in water so a fat or alcohol-based liquid must be used to get to the goodness...

Hey kp I don't have any milk, and I have actually started boiling some water, what do you think? Is it still possible to make the tea in a "traditional" way?

no, it's not. thc is only very minutely water soluble. therefore, the leaf matter will still have the thc, the teahc wont.

use milk or something else that has a high fat content. i suggested evaporated milk because it has twice the fat content of regular whole milk.

Holy shit! I didn't know any of this! You guys just saved me some trouble. I am doing the milk thing right now. Is it possible to boil away thc?

no, but it is possible to vaporize it. that's why you want to keep it at a simmer, lowest heat you can get.

Ok I turned down the heat, I hope I didn't vaporize the thc, because I put my cuttings in a coffee filter sewn together, then added it to a pot of boiling water, turned the heat down, then added milk per everyones' advice. Did I fuck up? Also, I am sorry but I was a little confused earlier with what you said about straining it. Could you please elaborate on that? And, how long should I let it simmer? It's been on for a good 10 minutes at the time of this posting.

crap.

simmer for 10-20 mins.

we'll see how it works out...

to strain, use a tea strainer (screen cup)

Even if it will get you high, I'm not letting anyone teabag me.
