Some say this is the world's second most popular way to medicate.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of milk (whole milk or any plant-based milk like almond, coconut, or soy)
- 1 tablespoon of butter or ghee (optional)
- 1 gram of ground cannabis flower (adjust according to desired potency)
- 1 teaspoon of ground ginger (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (optional)
- Sweetener of your choice (honey, sugar, agave syrup, etc.) to taste
- Tea bag or loose leaf tea of your choice (optional, for flavor)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Grind the cannabis flower into a fine consistency. You can use a grinder or mortar and pestle for this step.
2. In a small saucepan, combine water and milk. If using butter or ghee, add it to the mixture as well. Bring the mixture to a simmer over low to medium heat.
3. Once the mixture begins to simmer, add the ground cannabis to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
4. If desired, add ground ginger and cinnamon for extra flavor. Stir again to evenly distribute the spices.
5. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even infusion.
6. After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
7. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a mug or teapot to remove the plant material. Press down on the cannabis with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
8. If using tea bags or loose leaf tea, you can steep them in the strained mixture for additional flavor. Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes according to your preference.
9. Sweeten the tea with your choice of sweetener, if desired, and stir until it's fully dissolved.
10. Serve your bhang cannabis tea hot and enjoy responsibly. Start with a small amount to gauge its potency, and wait at least an hour before consuming more if desired.
