Instructions

  1. 1
    Place dried hibiscus flowers in a teapot. Pour boiling water over them.
  2. 2
    Steep for 5–7 minutes — longer steeping makes the tea more intense and sweeter.

    Strain tea. Let cool to 158–167°F (70–75°C) (no longer boiling!).
  4. 4
    Stir in Cannabis-Infused Honey until dissolved. Add lime juice.
  5. 5
    For iced tea: pour over ice cubes, top with mint. For hot tea: pour directly into cups.
  6. 6
    Serve immediately or store in refrigerator up to 24 hours.

Pro Tips

  • Stir in Cannabis-Infused Honey below 176°F (80°C) — THC degrades at higher temperatures.
  • Hibiscus is naturally sweet-tart — little additional sugar needed.
  • For a party punch: double the recipe, top with Prosecco or soda.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do edibles take to kick in?
Cannabis edibles typically take 30–90 minutes to kick in, depending on your metabolism, body weight, and whether you've eaten recently. Always wait at least 2 hours before consuming more to avoid overconsumption.
How do I calculate the THC dosage for Cannabis Hibiscus Tea?
Use our THC Edibles Calculator to calculate the exact THC mg per serving based on your strain's potency and the amount of cannabis used. A common starting dose for beginners is 5–10 mg THC per serving.
Can I use cannabis tincture instead of infused oil in drinks?
Yes, cannabis tinctures work well in drinks. Start with a low dose (0.5–1 ml) and shake well to mix. Tinctures are alcohol-based and may slightly alter the flavor.
How do I make cannabis drinks less bitter?
Use high-quality infused honey or coconut oil instead of plain cannabutter to reduce bitterness. Citrus juice and strong flavors like mint or ginger also help mask the cannabis taste effectively.
