Spring buds are ok but autumn is usually where its at. The only way I would make tea is by cooking and crushing the buds into warm milk and adding the milk to a regular cup of tea. Do you have a mortar and pestle? That's the old school way to do it, warm up the milk and smash in the dried or heated buds. And yeah take the seeds and stems out. You want the buds ie the resinous parts of the plant the seed pods or calyxes and the small resinous leaves at the tops of each branch. The plants probably wont have much of this for a while yet by the sounds of it.
