    How To Cook With CBD; CBD Drinks & Recipes

    Share the Buzz→

    CBD drinks and recipes are rapidly gaining popularity due to their potential health benefits. CBD or cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound in cannabis plants. Potential health benefits include reducing anxiety and alleviating pain. From CBD drinks to CBD-infused recipes, there are many ways to consume CBD.

    A variety of products form THC to CBD as well as in plant and flower form.

    A note about dosing:

    Be mindful of your dosage when using THC or CBD.

    A standard dose of THC in an edible is 5-10 mg, so calculate accordingly. Click here for information about dosing and potency.

    Start with a low dose and wait at least an hour before slowly consuming more, as the effects of ingested cannabis can take longer to kick in and can affect people differently.

    Getting Started with CBD: Identifying the various types of CBD.  

    Before you make CBD drinks or start cooking with CBD, it's essential to understand the different products available and their properties. CBD comes in various forms such as oils, tinctures, and isolates, each with unique features. When selecting, be sure to choose high-quality CBD products to ensure the very best results. They are often more expensive, but definitely worth it.

    Tips for incorporating CBD into your favorite recipes.  

    While CBD drinks are frequently the most common use of CBD, it can also be incorporated into sauces and dressings as an alternative way to enjoy this non-psychoactive compound.

    CBD drinks are not only delicious and have potential health benefits, but they are also easy to make and take with you, making them a perfect addition to your daily routine.   

    Best tips for incorporating CBD into drinks:  

    First, choose your preferred CBD product: CBD oil, tincture, or powder. All are easy to add to drinks. However, CBD tinctures or oils are the most popular drink option since they easily blend with liquids.  

    How to make infused CBD drinks at home:  

    1. Determine your dosage:   

    It's essential to be mindful of your dosage when incorporating CBD into drinks. Start with a low dose and gradually increase it until you find the right amount for you. Unlike THC, CBD has no intoxicating effects and won't make you feel altered, but it is still essential to start with a low dose and work your way up. 

    1. Choose your beverage:   

    You can add CBD to various drinks including coffee, tea, smoothies, and juices. Keep in mind that CBD has a slightly earthy taste, so it pairs best with drinks that have strong flavors like chocolate or coffee. Below are a few of the JAM team's favorite drink recipes to incorporate CBD into.

    1. Add CBD to your drink:   

    Once you have chosen your drink and dosage, it's time to add the CBD. Simply measure out your desired amount of CBD oil and add it to your drink. If you are using a CBD tincture, you can also use a measured dropper to add it to your drink.  

    1. Mix thoroughly:   

    After adding CBD to your drink, be sure to mix it thoroughly to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the drink.  

    That's it! You can now sit back, relax, and enjoy your CBD-infused drink.   

    How to cook with CBD at home:  

    For cooking, it's best to use CBD oil or a tincture which can easily be mixed into your recipes. When choosing a product, consider the dosage and safety precautions first.  

    Best tips for incorporating CBD into recipes:  

    • Start with a low dosage and gradually increase it to find the right amount for you.  
    • For best results, use CBD oil or tincture with a fat source like butter, coconut oil, or olive oil.  
    • To preserve potenency, mix CBD oil or tincture into your recipes at the end of the cooking process.  

    How to serve CBD-infused foods and beverages.  

    For serving infused CBD drinks and dishes, get creative by experimenting with different presentation styles. Don't be afraid to add some delicious toppings or garnishes to make your CBD-infused drink or dish even more appealing to the eye and taste buds.  

    Take a styling tip from the JAM team.

    Fresh cannabis leaves from a marijuana plant make a beautiful garnish. Simply wash the leaves and tuck them into glasses as a delightful garnish.

    How to properly store CBD-infused foods and beverages.  

    After cooking with CBD, it's crucial to store the food properly to maintain its freshness and potency. For drinks, CBD products should be mixed in right before serving.

    Cooking and creating beverages with CBD is an excellent way to incorporate this non-intoxicating compound into your daily routine while you explore new flavors and experience potential health benefits.
