Tea and decarbing (lemm.ee)

Hey Lemmings! Need some advice on making weed tea. I've noticed some recipes call for decarbing the weed before infusing it into the tea, while others don't mention it at all. Has anyone tried both methods? Any noticeable differences in potency or taste?

Update: I decarbed a small amount of flower, probaly less than 0.5g , at 115 c for 30 minutes. After that I boiled it with 300ml of water and 2 tbs of butter for 30 mins. As the water evaporated I kept refilling the water.

Can't really say that it was very potent, maybe not enough flower, or not enough boiling? Wouldn't recommend based on this experience. Next time I'll just make cannabutter and put that in the tea.

Your vaping is like decarbing the weed, I'll assume that it will be a nescessary step then. Even though many recipes skip this part.

Yes, sorry, that is what I meant when I said I used already vaped flower. It's effectively decarbed and has about 30% of the potency left (or less depending on how dark).
