I've tried to make tea before with stems, but it didn't work.. Is there a specific way to do it? I just put the stems into a tea diffuser and into a mug of boiling water.24 grams of shake is enough for 1lb thats 4 sticks of butter if its kind bud thats is. keep the stems for tea and i dont vape but im pretty sure the duff is usless but you can try i would make it in seperate batch though. when its done check out my cook book. good luck pm me if you have anymore questions
