I have posted this before but here it is again.
To make a magical tea is fairly easy. The first thing we need to do it make the THC into a liquid.
For tea, milk is going to be your best bet. Use whole fat milk preferable, DO NOT USE FAT FREE MILK. THC is fat soluble, meaning you need fat to draw the THC out of the magical herbs.
What you will need:
1/2 cup of Milk
quarter (1/4) of an ounce(z) of weed (which is just over 7 grams)
A good grinder (or a clean coffee grinder that you use for NOTHING other then grinding weed) Good Ginder on amazon
A Strainer Strainer I use on amazon
A pot or pan (i'd give you an amazon link for this.... but i'm sure you can find a pot or pan on your own XD )
Drink and enjoy.
You're welcome
Thoughts on mortar and pestle coffee grinding:
Helps to also use a strainer
Grind. Strain smaller grinds into collection container. Return larger grinds to pestle. Repeat until all grinds at suitable small size.
For French Press I would start with a coarse strainer. Then, when all the grinds fit through that, grinding is done. Next I would use a double fine strainer to just remove the dust from the rest of the grinds. What is left is perfect for French Press. Voila.
I drink looseleaf with an infuser like this one, or in a ceramic teapot (haven't gotten around to shelling out for a clay one yet.) This is my process for making black tea, which is what I usually drink.
I'm not a huge fan of tea bags, because I'm sort of elitist about my tea and because I can't find many bagged teas that are as delicious and full-flavored as looseleaf teas.
When I'm drinking tea, it's usually before or with breakfast, so I'm generally just eating breakfast alongside it. However, for a treat, I like to get some McVitie's digestive biscuits to nibble on with a pot of tea. If you're American, you can often find them in international food stores (or order online!). They go wonderfully with tea, and they're way more appetizing than they sound.
I hope this helped, and that you can forgive my penchant for abusing paretheses! :)
A fine mesh strainer is what you want
This would be much easier if you explain the motivation. It doesn't sound like you're looking for a cocktail, it sounds like you're look for a diet supplement because you or someone you know is suffering from an iron deficiency. To be honest, calling this a "cocktail challenge" kind of annoys me.
It would be much better to say, Hello, I am trying to meet an iron deficiency (and maybe other things?) in my diet by consuming blackstrap molasses and prune juice. Could you suggest a way to make this into a tasty drink? I am a vegan and I would like to be able to consume this with or without alcohol.
Anyway, sorry for the lecture. Here's how to do it.
You already know exactly what you want in the drink, more or less, so all we really need are some methods and proportions.
First, make spiced blackstrap molasses syrup. On the stovetop, combine
2 cups of blackstrap molasses
2 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise pods
5-8 cloves
5-8 allspice berries
Bring to a simmer on the stovetop, and then allow the mixture to rest until it comes to room temperature. Strain out the spices. The syrup will keep for at least one week, probably two.
I personally find prune juice to be digusting, especially in the volume that you would have to drink it to do you any good, but let's just assume for a moment that it isn't gross. I call this drink Michel Lotito, after the man who ate an entire airplane. (Plenty of iron in that!)
Michel Lotito
2 oz dark rum OR 2 oz strongly-brewed black tea.
2 oz Prune Juice
1 oz spiced blackstrap syrup
1 oz lemon juice
Shake all over ice and strain into a tumbler filled with ice.
Note: To be honest I'm not sure how sweet prune juice is, because I can't stand the stuff, but if it's as sweet as I fear, you might want to bump up the lemon to 2 oz.
I'm not sure how familiar you are with mixological technique, but I'm going to assume that you're not. I hope that doesn't come off as patronizing. Here are a couple of tips:
Good luck!
So, the easiest way to make it is to just dump some in some almost boiling water. The downside, obviously, is that you have loose leaves in the water, which is (IMO) not the most appealing tea.
If you want to keep the leaves out of the tea, then you need a strainer. I use (this one)[http://www.amazon.com/HIC-Snap-Mesh-Ball-Infuser/dp/B000I1ZZ24/] cause it's cheap, easy to get the tea into, and easy to clean.
A lot of people like the (pourover kine)[http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-3-Inch-Strainer/dp/B001713L84/], but I like my tea stronger than most, so I like to let the leaves spend more time in the hot water than the pourover method does, and the scissor type strainer I use gives me the most flexible.
If you've got it in a bag, this is the most thorough video I've seen on the subject.

Otherwise, if you're using a strainer, all the same rules basically apply, you just use the strainer instead of the bag.

That is really all you need to pretty much do anything. You can also check your local store for a small cutting board, paring knife, cocktail napkins, etc.

Great list!
I'd just like to add a 2-oz measuring cup, since I tend to be more of a measurer than a speed-pourer, and this gives me more precision than a jigger.
Also, this is the fine-mesh strainer I use. (I swear I'm not an OXO salesman).

I hate having kitchen items that only do one thing. If I need to decant or aerate, I just use a large Pyrex measuring cup that has been washed and dried. It has a spout so I can pour it back in to the bottle or in to a smaller one for the next night. If I need to strain, that is no problem either. Pyrex is cheap and tough as nails. It can also be filled with water/ice to be used as a chiller.

2a) Put your rock/powder in one of these over the hot plate.
2b) Use something like this or the back end of a spoon if your in a pinch (although I've found that a spoon doesn't work as well for bigger rocks) to crush up your rock/powder through the strainer onto your hot plate.
Perfect consistency every time.
get a tea strainer as such, http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-3-Inch-Strainer/dp/B001713L84/ref=sr_1_6/180-7891291-2265401?ie=UTF8&qid=1463419291&sr=8-6&keywords=tea+strainer
Use a pestle to grind and push the coke through the strainer. I do this over a hot plate to help evaporate any moisture as well. Gets it just like what this guy posted. Good Luck!
