Hop tea for drinking?

Can you use hops in a tea? If so, what might be a good hop and do I need to boil?

Been reading about you got to steep the hops. Apparently it helps for sleeping

I did try to make some back when I grew hops… Thought I could put a name to a bitter cup of tea… Really didn’t work… But by all means, keep after it and tell us what you come up with. Sneezles61

Hop tea is some of the worst, most vile stuff I’ve ever had the misfortune to put in my mouth.

I agree if it was good it would be a thing by now. Best to steep your hops in the whirlpool

Me one time just try a hop pellet. Nasty. Nasty

I guess so. Should have known

I’m guessing that anything that could be smoked has been smoked!

I see a new fad, buy a pint and a toke of hops… It’ll be be pared with IPA’s… Sneezles61

Yes. Don’t.

sneezles61 · July 18, 2019, 9:45pm

Down to seeds and stems… Let’s try some hops!! Sneezles61
