Rummaging through my tea drawer for my favorite tea ingredients is one of life's simple pleasures for me. I love playing with colors, flavors, and effects, experimenting until I find that perfect blend of herbs and spices. Because I love incorporating CBD into my daily life, I also add decarboxylated hemp flower to my teas. I enjoy the Half Baked hemp flower for most of my teas, but for anything tangy, the Raspberry Crème is a great addition. Here are a couple of recipes to try next time you want more than just your average tea. The fun part is playing with the amounts and flavors, so don't be afraid to add other ingredients, omit the ones you don't like, or change up the ratios.

None of these recipes much to your taste? Try adding hemp flower to your favorite tea blend or bag! Just decarboxylate the flower and add it to your cup.
To decarboxylate your hemp flower for use in tea:
1. Grind the desired amount of hemp flower into a crumbly texture.
2. Place your ground hemp flower on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Cover the baking sheet with foil if you want to preserve more of the terpenes.)
3. Bake in the oven at 240 degrees F for about 20 minutes, toss the hemp flower, then bake for another 20 minutes.
**You can do the same thing in an air fryer with just a few minor changes. Wrap your ground hemp flower in a foil ball, leaving some room inside the ball to shake the ground hemp flower around halfway through. Poke a few small holes so air can escape.
