You may think cannabis ice teas are a gimmick or a peculiarity, but you'd be surprised at the varieties of 420-ice teas out there. This Thai-inspired recipe is particularly interesting, as it requires you to combine condensed milk destined for your tea with cannabis butter.
To make a pitcher of Thai cannabis ice tea, you begin by steeping six chai or black tea bags with ground cinnamon, cardamom, star anise and vanilla extract in boiling water. Granulated sugar can then be added for extra sweetness, along with a can of condensed milk before 4-5 tablespoons of melted cannabutter.
This happiness-inducing beverage has notes of citrus and a zesty flavor profile, and makes for an excellent beverage for those warm days. The resulting beverage is creamy and delicious
