Weed stem tea has become a popular choice for cannabis users looking for an efficient way to use their leftovers. Stem tea is the solution when there is no more flower to roll. What's more, it can be made without any smell.
This guide will show you how to make weed tea with stems and discuss some of the benefits. We will also answer any questions you may have about this type of tea.
What Is Weed Stem Tea?
Weed stem tea is a type of herbal tea made from the stems of the cannabis plant. It has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its many benefits.
This funky drink is a hot beverage made from the remaining stems of the cannabis plants after the flowers have been harvested. Weed stem tea contains so little quantities of THC that it is safe to drink for most individuals. In addition, those trying to reduce their marijuana consumption may find this tea beneficial.
Weed stem tea has become an easy, eco-friendly, and fast way to consume marijuana. It is also a fantastic way to ensure that none of the plant's parts go to waste. When smoked, weed stems are extremely harsh and harmful to the throat and lungs. But when these weed stems are boiled in water, they produce a smooth and powerful tea.
Weed stem tea also offers several health benefits. We will discuss them better in the coming section.
What Are Weed Stems?
Cannabis stems are the leftover pieces of the plant after the leaves and flowers have been harvested.
The stem is an integral part of the cannabis plant. It helps support the leaves and flowers and transport nutrients throughout the plant. The stem also contains a small amount of CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids.
Although cannabis stems are usually thrown away or used as compost, they can be used to make various products, including tea. This ensures that your money does not waste and that no part of the plant goes to waste.
How Much THC Is In Weed Stems?
There have been several debates about how much THC is in weed stems. However, most researchers agree that the THC content in cannabis stems is very low.
A study published in 2017 found that the THC concentration in cannabis stems ranged from 0.3 to 0.9%. This is much lower than the THC concentration in leaves and flowers, ranging from 15% to 25%.
This means you would need to consume large amounts of weed stems to experience any psychoactive effects. And for most people, drinking weed stem tea will not result in a positive drug test.
Also, you must know that weed stems are a great starting point for hash, tea, butter, topical creams, and more. This basically means that weed stems are a very versatile product that can be used in many ways.
What Do You Need To Make Weed Stem Tea?
Now that you know what weed stem tea is and how to make it let's discuss what you need to start.
To make weed stem tea, you will need the following items:
Leftover stems (½-¼ cups worth)
The amount of leftover stems you use depends on how much tea you want to prepare. Using ½ to ¼ cups of leftover stems in most cases should be enough. You can also use ground-up stems, which will need to be filtered out after steeping.

Purified water (3 cups)
You will need water to make the tea. Using three cups of water should be enough for most people.
Standard sized tea bag(s) of your favorite non-ganja tea for added flavor (1-2 bags)
You can use any tea bag you want. Most people prefer to use black or green tea for added flavor. However, we advise using one or two standard-sized tea bags of your favorite non-ganja tea.
A coffee filter
You will need a coffee filter to strain the tea.
Either your favorite liquor/alcohol (2-3 teaspoons), milk/non-dairy milk (½ cup), or butter/coconut oil (½ tablespoon)
You will need the liquids listed above to make the tea. Most people prefer to use liquor/alcohol because it helps extract more THC from the stems. However, you can also use milk/non-dairy milk or butter/coconut oil.
How To Make Weed Stem Tea: Step-By-Step
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make weed stem tea:
1. Decide whether or not you want to grind up your stems
If you choose to grind up your stems, put them in a grinder and grind them until they are a fine powder. If you do not want to grind up your stems, skip this step.
2. Get that water boiling
Next, put the ground-up stems (or whole stems) in a pot of boiling water. Boil the water for about 30 minutes to allow the THC to infuse into the water. After 30 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
3. Start the infusion process
Once it has cooled, you can start the infusion process. To do this, put the coffee filter over the mouth of the pot and pour the tea into another container.
4. Strain and pour
Make sure to squeeze the coffee filter to get all of the tea out. Once you have done this, you can pour the tea into a cup.
5. Make that tea taste amazing, and start enjoying it
Now it's time to add your favorite liquor/alcohol, milk/non-dairy milk, or butter/coconut oil. Adding this will help extract more THC from the stems. Once you have added binding, add some of your favorite non-ganja tea for added flavor. Once done, enjoy your weed stem tea.
Why Cannabis Stem Tea?
There are several reasons why people love weed stem tea. Many cannabis lovers take weed stem tea because:
Treats Depression
Weed stem tea is known to treat depression. This is because it contains CBD, which is known to help regulate mood.

Drinking weed stem tea can also help treat anxiety. So if you experience anxiety regularly, try making some weed stem tea.

Important Info About Binding Agents
Cannabinoids are not water-soluble, so binding agents are important. Binding agents are fats or oils that help cannabinoids like THC and CBD to infuse into the water. Without binding agents, your weed tea will not be as potent.
Some good suggestions for binding agents are:
Rum
Whole milk
Coconut milk
Butter
Coconut oil
