Already vaped bud (AVB) is the cannabis material left after vaporizing flower. Although much of the active compounds have been extracted, AVB still contains cannabinoids that can be used in edibles. One of the easiest and most accessible methods is making AVB tea — a warm beverage that reuses material you might otherwise discard.
This guide explains how AVB tea works, why washing matters, and how to prepare it with a smoother taste and predictable experience.

What Is AVB and Why Use It in Tea?
When cannabis is vaporized, heat activates cannabinoids through decarboxylation. Unlike raw flower, AVB is already activated, which means it can be consumed directly or infused into food and drinks without baking or cooking first.
However, vaporization doesn’t remove everything. The leftover material still contains small amounts of THC, CBD, and other compounds. Because it has already been heated, AVB works especially well in simple preparations like tea.
Why people choose AVB tea
- Reduces waste from vaporized cannabis
- Requires minimal cooking equipment
- Easy to control serving size
- Gentler aroma compared to smoking
- Useful introduction to cannabis edibles
Step 1: Wash the AVB to Reduce Bitterness
AVB naturally tastes harsh because vaporization concentrates plant compounds such as tannins and chlorophyll. Washing helps remove these bitter flavors.
How to wash AVB
- Fill a pot with water
- Place AVB inside a tea bag or fine strainer
- Heat the water — keep it below about 170°F (77°C)
- Let it sit for about 15 minutes
- Remove and rinse with fresh water
This process improves taste without significantly affecting potency. It does not “activate” cannabis — that already happened during vaping — it simply cleans it.
Step 2: Prepare the Tea Base
Cannabinoids dissolve better in fat than in water. That means plain hot water won’t extract much. To make effective AVB tea, you need a fat source such as milk or cream.
Recommended ingredients
- Washed AVB (in tea bag)
- Black tea or herbal tea
- Water
- Milk, cream, or plant-based milk with fat
- Sweetener (optional)
Step 3: Brew the AVB Tea
- Heat water gently (avoid boiling)
- Add tea bag and washed AVB
- Pour in milk or cream
- Stir occasionally for about 25–30 minutes
- Sweeten if desired
Slow heating helps cannabinoids bind to fat molecules. Stirring keeps the infusion even and prevents overheating.
What to Expect After Drinking AVB Tea
Unlike inhalation, edibles are processed through digestion and the liver. This changes how cannabinoids affect the body.
Typical onset
- Start: 60–120 minutes
- Peak: 2–4 hours
- Duration: Several hours
Because AVB potency varies depending on how dark the material is, effects are unpredictable. Lighter brown AVB is usually stronger than very dark brown or black material.
Tip: Start with a small serving and wait before consuming more.
How Strong Is AVB Tea?
Potency depends on:
- Original cannabis strength
- Vaporizer temperature used
- Color of AVB
- Amount used in tea
There is no exact dosage calculation. For beginners, using a small quantity (for example, ½ teaspoon of AVB) is a cautious starting point.
Flavor Improvement Tips
AVB tea can taste earthy. These methods help:
- Wash AVB thoroughly
- Add cinnamon or chai spices
- Use flavored tea blends
- Add honey or brown sugar
- Include more milk or cream
The goal is to balance bitterness without masking everything completely.
Storage and Safety Notes
- Store AVB in a dry, airtight container
- Label infused beverages clearly
- Avoid mixing with alcohol
- Keep away from children and pets
Edibles can feel stronger than expected due to delayed onset.
FAQ
Does AVB tea get you high?
Yes, AVB still contains cannabinoids. Effects depend on potency and serving size.
Why do you need milk or cream?
Cannabinoids bind to fat, not water. Without fat, extraction is weak and inconsistent.
Can you skip the washing step?
You can, but the tea will taste significantly more bitter and harsh.
How long should you wait before drinking more?
At least two hours. Edibles take time to activate.
Is darker AVB weaker?
Generally yes. The darker the material, the more cannabinoids were already used during vaporization.
