How to Make CBD Tea

Everyone enjoys a nice warm tea when they wake up, but once you infuse it with CBD, you will like it even more! Learning how to make CBD tea is way easier than it seems. This article will teach you how to infuse CBD into tea, how to properly dose it, and where to get the ingredients to make the recipe.

It is fairly expensive to buy premade CBD tea packets, so we wanted to show people how they can save some money by making CBD tea themselves. There are two main benefits of making the tea yourself. The first benefit is the tea becomes much more affordable, the second benefit is you can control the potency to fit your preferences.

We recommend calculating the potency of the infused tea prior to making it. This will allow you to adjust the recipe so the tea contains the amount of CBD you want! Scroll to the bottom of this article and use the potency calculator to find a dosage you like.

What You Will Need to Make This Recipe

To make this recipe, you will need one main ingredient that you can’t purchase at the grocery store. That ingredient is CBD isolate. CBD isolate is super easy to use and much more affordable. If you would like to purchase isolate or read more information on it, click here to see the company we have been using:

CBD Tea Dosage Guide

We always recommend that you calculate the potency of your homemade edibles prior to making them. Then you will be able to adjust and alter the recipe until it fits your preferences. To find the potency of your infused tea, you will need to know the amount of CBD isolate used.

To calculate the potency of the infused tea, measure the amount of CBD isolate used in the infusion. The package the CBD comes in should have guidelines and directions on how to do this. We use a scale to measure the amount of CBD the recipe needs. This method is more precise and we can get the exact dosage we need. CBD is measured in milligrams (mg), so if the scale reads 0.1g (grams) that is equivalent to 100mg.

If you need a scale to measure the CBD isolate for the infusion, this is the scale we recommend: here is a link to the scale we use which can be purchased on Amazon!

Potency Calculator

Use the potency calculator below to find a dosage you like. We recommend playing around and adjusting the calculator prior to making the recipe. This will show you exactly how much CBD isolate is needed for the dosage you prefer.

Enter the amount of cannabis you are using to infuse butter, oil, milk, etc.

%

If your cannabis has a THC content of 25%, type 25

How much of the activated ingredient will you use in your infusion?

-
mg

This is the amount of mg of THC in the entire extract.

Enter the amount of infused tablespoons your recipe calls for (1 cup = 16 tablespoons)

serv

Enter the total number of pieces or portions your recipe will make (e.g., 12 brownies, 8 cookies)

THC mg per Serv

Decarboxylation doesn't have 100% efficiency and it typically 70-90%. This means about 10-30% of potential THC is lost. This is a rough estimate on your edible potency.
