Cannabis Cold Flu Remedy: 5-Ingredient Infused Ginger Tea

When you’re sick with a cold or flu, this cannabis cold flu remedy combines ancient herbal wisdom with cannabis-infused honey to create a soothing, warming tea that may help you recover faster. Fordee made this video while genuinely sick — still managing to show you the whole process from scratch.

Cannabis Cold Flu Remedy: What You Need

Here are the cannabis cold remedy recipe ingredients for 1 large mug:

• 1 mug of water (fill to top — you’ll lose some to evaporation)
• 1 inch (2.5 cm) fresh ginger, sliced into thin coins (no need to peel, just wash)
• ½ tsp ground turmeric (or 1 whole cinnamon stick)
• 1 tbsp dried mint (or a small handful of fresh mint)
• 2–3 orange or mandarin slices, lightly squeezed
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1–2 tsp cannabis-infused honey (or infused maple syrup)

How to Make Cannabis Ginger Turmeric Tea

This cannabis ginger turmeric tea comes together in under 10 minutes on the stovetop:

1. Add water to pot — Fill the pot with slightly more water than your mug holds, to account for evaporation during simmering.
2. Add ginger, turmeric, mint, citrus — Drop sliced ginger into the cold water. Add ground turmeric (or a cinnamon stick), dried mint, and the lightly squeezed orange slices. Stir briefly.
3. Bring to a boil, then simmer — Heat on high until boiling, then reduce to medium. Simmer for 4–5 minutes.
4. Strain into your mug — Pour through a fine-mesh sieve directly into the mug to catch all the loose mint, ginger pieces, and citrus pulp.
5. Add lemon juice — Squeeze half a lemon through a paper towel or cloth to filter out seeds. Stir into the tea.
6. Add infused honey cold remedy — Once the tea has cooled to a drinkable temperature (not boiling — high heat degrades THC), stir in your cannabis-infused honey or infused maple syrup to taste. 1–2 tsp is a comfortable starting dose.

Why This Ginger Mint Cannabis Tea Works When You’re Sick

Each ingredient in this ginger mint cannabis tea sick-day formula plays a role:

• Ginger — Anti-inflammatory, helps with nausea and sore throat.
• Turmeric — Contains curcumin, known for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that support heart health and immune function.
• Mint — Natural decongestant, soothes the throat, and adds cooling relief to a hot tea.
• Lemon — High in vitamin C, supports immune function, and brightens the flavor.
• Infused honey — Cannabis may reduce inflammation and promote relaxation, making rest easier. Honey alone soothes sore throats. Together they make a powerful infused honey cold remedy.

Infused Honey Cold Remedy: Dosing Tips

Add the cannabis-infused honey after straining and once the tea has cooled slightly. Boiling water can degrade cannabinoids — aim for a temperature that’s hot but drinkable (under 65°C / 150°F). Start with 1 tsp of infused honey and wait to see how the cannabis cold flu remedy affects you before taking more. If your infused honey is potent, even ½ tsp may be enough for relief and relaxation.

Fordee drinks this cannabis cold remedy recipe once a day when sick, supplemented with multivitamins and vitamin C. The combination of natural herbs and cannabis makes it easier to sleep and may reduce the intensity of symptoms.
