How to Make Cannabis-Infused Tea
For many, a simple cup of tea is the perfect way to start your day — while others prefer to start their day with a cup of weed-infused tea. Believe it or not, cannabis and tea make a delicious pair because most teas already have a naturally herbal flavor profile. Best of all? It really doesn’t matter what kind of tea or weed you use to make one of these unforgettable drinks at home.
Whether you like to start your day with a spicy cup of chai tea or wind down for the night with a mug of soothing mint tea, read on to discover everything you need to know about how to make cannabis-infused tea.
What You Need To Make Weed Tea
Before you can start crafting your cannabis tea, check the kitchen to make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. If you have a 420-friendly kitchen, you likely already have all of the following goodies right at your fingertips:
Tea
As we mentioned above, any tea will do the trick, but we suggest selecting a tea that is strong enough to stand up the cannabis flavor. For example, the soft notes of jasmine tea might be easily overpowered while a robust Earl Grey tea will have no problem shining.
Milk of Your Choosing
This recipe is closer to the latte family than a plain old cup of tea so milk gives it that creamy, frothy feel. If you just want a simple mug of tea without all the bells and whistles, you can simply mix a cannabis tincture or other infusion directly into your tea. But this recipe is going to take things up a notch.
Cannabis-infused Coconut Oil
It’s always good to have some cannabis-infused coconut oil on hand especially if you’re a tea or coffee drinker. It also helps give that silky smooth feel, latte-esque texture in your drinks and is a seamless way to infuse some cannabis into your routine. To make it, you simply do it the exact same way as cannabutter.
Sweetener (Optional)
Some people like sugar, others don’t. So while we do recommend a hint of sweetness, it’s completely up to you.
Garnishes (Optional)
Depending on the type of tea you’re going to make, you may want to go the extra mile and top it off with some complementary garnishes. Think ingredients like flaked sea salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, or maybe even some chocolate chips.

The Best Cannabis Strains for Sex
In the words of the illustrious Salt-N-Pepa, let’s talk about sex, baby, let’s talk about you and me—or in our case, let’s talk about you and weed. It’s no secret that cannabis can take your sexy time to another level and we’re certainly not the first generation to make this intimate connection.
In fact, ancient Hindu texts describe cannabis as one of the five sacred plants and an integral part of the Tantric ritual. Cannabis was also used in Soviet-era Russia to ease the nerves of virgins and is still used today as an impotence drug in Western Uganda.
With weed’s potential to help you relax, lower your inhibitions, and increase heighten your senses, it just makes sense that the two go together. Studies have shown that our favorite plant could improve sexual satisfaction, with frequent users having more sex than those who casually smoke or don’t imbibe at all—but not just any strain will do if you want to get the job done right. Although all of our bodies experience cannabis differently, here’s a list of our top 6 best cannabis strains for sex to get you going.

How to Eliminate Cannabis Odor
If you enjoy cannabis, you know that a potent odor is often just a part of the ride. Although the smell of cannabis is part of what makes it special, there are many reasons why you may not want to reek of your latest purchase from JARS. Whether you have a nosy neighbor or you simply want your home to smell fresh, we’re here with our guide on how to eliminate cannabis odor. Read on for our list of best-kept tips, tricks, and products to help you with your smelly dilemma.
Consume in a well-ventilated area.
Unfortunately, there is no way to completely eradicate the odor that comes from cannabis, especially if you’re smoking – that’s why it’s important to focus on prevention rather than solely relying on masking the smell.
Next time you spark up, make sure to open a few windows or even step outside to take care of business. If it’s a cold day, just crack your windows while you’re smoking, and try to aim the fumes directly outside, before shutting them again. You may even consider turning on a fan just to keep air circulating around the room.
Use the power of your kitchen.
An untraditional but effective way to deal with the smell of cannabis is to head into your kitchen. Cooking odors can be powerful and long-lasting, so they’re an excellent solution to unwanted smells.
If you have some onions, garlic, or both on hand, slice them up, and try sauteeing them in some oil. The intoxicating smell will fill up your home and mask any additional odors in no time. Bonus points if you can use these ingredients to make something to cure your munchies.
You can also try popping some popcorn, either on the stove or in the microwave—but you won’t be able to eat it so don’t get too excited. In order for this method to work its best, you will need to burn the popcorn. We know it might sound crazy but have you ever lit a match after in the bathroom to cover up some potentially embarrassing odors? This is the same idea but on a larger scale. One simple strike of a match is likely not enough to handle the smell of cannabis smoke.
Try an air freshener.
Perhaps one of the most common ways to handle undesirable aromas is to grab an everyday air freshener. For a quick fix, a simple spray from the grocery store will temporarily do the trick. To go the extra mile, some brands (like Veil) have crafted room sprays specifically for cannabis. You can also invest in a wall plug-in that runs continuously so you never have to worry about spritzing the room every time you consume.
Stock up on essential oils.
Mask the scent of cannabis and get the added bonus of aromatherapy by using essential oils. Turn your home into a spa by placing a few drops of the oil of your choice into a diffuser. Similar to a humidifier, the scent will spread throughout the space using this winning combination.
For a relaxing environment, try a blend of lavender and clary sage oils. Lavender has been shown to help reduce stress and clary sage may help cleanse your space. For an energizing vibe, opt for a blend of lemon and basil. This duo can potentially lift your spirits and help to enhance your mood. Whatever mixture you choose, your home will feel and smell like a high-end spa.
Light some incense and candles.
Set the mood while disguising unwanted odors by lighting incense or candles. They’re a classic solution to fill a home with alluring aromas and are easy to find at every price point. With a variety of scents and styles to choose from, you can select whatever fits your mood or vibe the best. Incense and candles also make a great gift if you want to make someone in your smoke circle feel extra special.
Exhale into a sploof.
What might just sound like a funny word is actually a very handy tool for the odor-conscious consumer. Essentially, a sploof is a hollow tube that is filled with some kind of filtration system to help eliminate the smell of cannabis. To use it, you exhale into the mouthpiece side and the filtered smoke comes out through the other side.
You can easily make one yourself at home with an empty toilet paper roll, dryer sheets, and a rubber band or purchase one. Either way, it’s a great device to have on hand if you want to easily deal with cannabis aromas.
Conclusion
Although there is no way to completely eliminate cannabis odor, we hope this guide has helped you determine how to handle them with ease. For more tips and tricks, follow @JARS_life on social media, and make sure to stay tuned for more on the blog.
