Weed Sweet Tea Recipe — 5 Easy Steps

Step 2: Add Honey and Infused MCT Oil

Weigh out 40 grams of honey on a kitchen scale and add it to the hot tea. Honey can emulsify up to twice its weight in oil — so 40g of honey can hold up to 80g of oil. Fordee used 20g of cannabis infused MCT oil for a moderate-to-strong dose. Add your infused MCT oil directly to the glass. At this point, you will see the oil floating on top — that is perfectly normal before emulsification.

Step 3: Emulsify with an Immersion Blender

This is the key step in weed sweet tea emulsification. Insert your immersion blender and run it until the oil and tea are fully combined — the liquid should look uniform and slightly frothy with no visible oil sitting on top. Add 10–15 drops of orange food coloring at this stage if you want a more appealing colour. The natural colour from the MCT oil and honey can look unappetizing without it.

Step 4: Chill and Dilute

Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 20 to 30 minutes. Once cooled, add approximately the same volume of regular water as the original tea (another ~300ml). Blend again briefly with the immersion blender to re-emulsify after diluting. Add more food colouring if desired at this point.

Step 5: Add Ice, Sugar, and Serve

Drop in ice cubes one at a time, then stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of canned sugar to taste. Give it a final stir with a spoon and serve immediately. The result is a refreshing, lightly frothy cannabis MCT oil sweet tea that Fordee describes as tasting like an Orange Julius. Absolutely delicious.

Understanding Weed Sweet Tea Emulsification

Weed sweet tea emulsification is the process of breaking cannabis-infused oil into tiny droplets that stay suspended in a water-based liquid. Without an emulsifier, the THC-infused MCT oil simply floats to the top and does not mix — leaving you with an oily surface and uneven dosing. Honey works as a natural emulsifier because of its thick, hydrophilic structure that traps oil droplets between water molecules.

The ratio matters: 40g of honey can emulsify up to 80g of oil. Fordee used 20g — well within the stable range. An immersion blender is the best tool for this job because it creates the mechanical shear force needed to break the oil into fine droplets rapidly.

Dosage Notes for This Weed Sweet Tea Recipe

Fordee estimates this MCT oil emulsified tea recipe contains 60mg or more of THC per full serving, depending on your infusion potency. This is a strong dose — start with half a glass if you are not sure about your tolerance. Wait at least 2 hours before deciding to drink more. Edibles and infused beverages take longer to kick in than smoking.

Tip: If you want a milder drink, use less infused MCT oil (10g instead of 20g) while keeping the honey the same. The emulsification still works perfectly at lower oil quantities.
