THC Oil/Distillate
For this recipe, the star ingredient is, of course, THC oil or distillate. This highly concentrated form of cannabis extract allows for precise dosing and ensures a potent punch in each glass. Look for pure, lab-tested THC oil or distillate with minimal additives.
Black Tea Bags
Beyond the THC itself, several other ingredients play a crucial role in achieving that perfect refreshing iced tea.
- Black Tea Bags: The foundation of your beverage, black tea provides a robust base flavor that pairs well with the earthy notes of cannabis. Look for high-quality black tea bags from reputable brands.
- Water: Filtered or spring water is essential to ensure a clean taste and avoid any impurities affecting the infusion.
- Sweetener: Adjust sweetness to your preference using honey, sugar, agave, or your preferred alternative. Consider adding sweetener gradually, tasting as you go.
- Lemon or Lime Juice: A splash of citrus brightens the flavors and adds a refreshing touch.
Water
Water is essential for brewing the tea and diluting the THC oil or distillate. It acts as the solvent, extracting the flavor from the black tea bags and allowing the THC to dissolve evenly.
Sugar (Optional)
Sweetener plays a key role in balancing the flavors of your THC-infused iced tea.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar is a classic choice for sweetness, dissolving easily into hot water. Adjust the amount to taste.
Lemon Slices (Optional)
Lemon slices (optional) add a bright and aromatic element to your THC-infused iced tea.
- Garnish: Fresh lemon slices not only enhance the visual appeal but also provide a zesty counterpoint to the earthy cannabis flavor. Place a slice or two in each glass for an extra touch of refreshment.
Other Flavorings (Optional)
Black tea bags are the foundation of your beverage, providing a robust base flavor that pairs well with the earthy notes of cannabis. Look for high-quality black tea bags from reputable brands.
Filtered or spring water is essential to ensure a clean taste and avoid any impurities affecting the infusion.
A splash of citrus brightens the flavors and adds a refreshing touch. Lemon juice is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with lime juice for a slightly different twist.

Infusing with THC
To infuse your tea with THC, you’ll need to use an oil or distillate that has been extracted from cannabis plants.
This concentrated form of THC is highly potent and allows for precise dosing. Start with a small amount (around 5-10mg) and adjust based on your desired effects.
Once you have your ingredients, the process is simple:
- Steep black tea bags in hot water for 3-5 minutes, then remove them.
- Add your sweetener of choice to taste while the tea is still hot.
- Slowly stir in your THC oil or distillate until it’s completely dissolved.
- Let the mixture cool completely before adding ice and your desired citrus juice.
Remember, always store your THC-infused iced tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator to preserve freshness and potency.
Cooling and Sweetening
Instructions for creating this refreshing beverage are straightforward. Begin by steeping high-quality black tea bags in hot water for 3-5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool slightly.
While the tea cools, sweeten it to your preference using honey, sugar, agave, or any other sweetener you enjoy. The key is to taste and adjust gradually until you achieve the desired level of sweetness.
Once the tea has cooled sufficiently, gently stir in your THC oil or distillate. Ensure the THC is fully dissolved for a consistent and even distribution of effects.
Finally, add ice to chill the tea thoroughly and a splash of lemon or lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
Proper cooling is crucial to both taste and safety. Avoid adding ice directly to hot tea as it can dilute the flavor and potentially make the THC less potent. Let the tea cool down significantly before adding ice. This ensures a balanced and refreshing beverage.
Serving Suggestions
Serving suggestions for your THC-infused iced tea are endless, allowing you to tailor the experience to your preference.
- Classic Serve: Enjoy your chilled creation in a tall glass filled with ice, garnished with fresh lemon or lime slices.
- Social Gatherings: Prepare a pitcher of your THC-infused iced tea and offer it alongside snacks like fruit platters, savory appetizers, or homemade cookies.
- Relaxing Evening: Sip on your infused tea while unwinding after a long day. Pair it with a good book, movie, or relaxing bath.
Remember to consume responsibly and be mindful of dosage, as the effects of THC can vary from person to person.
