Question:ya know using weed stems.
how do you make it?

Answers:
Stem Tea (Twig Tea)

Save your sticks and grind them up into powder using your handy dandy coffee grinder.

In a seperate pot (with a cover) boil about 2 cups of water to a rolling boil.

Add the ground up sticks (as much as you have from a teaspoon to 1/4 cup), Cover, lower heat to a LOW. Let tea steep for at least 5 minutes (I make some toast)

After 5 minutes, take pot off stove (***Turn off the stove***) toss in a teabag or two of your favorite tea (Liptons, herbal, Green tea, whatever) and let steep for another 5 minutes (go ahead and butter your toast...english muffins get boysenberry jam of course )

To Serve:
Serve from a teapot that has a strainer in the spout OR
Strain your tea through a tea strainer OR
Use the funnel of your coffee maker with a filter in place, Sit the filter and funnel into the coffee pot and then pour the brewed tea through the funnel, the pure tea will drip/pour into the coffee (now your tea) pot

Serve with Sugar or Honey as the sticks will add a bitter flavor
