We're mixing up something truly special here at Jane and Mary – a recipe that's as much a toast to your refined tastes as it is a tribute to Mother Nature's bounty. Picture this: a glass of refreshing homemade lemonade, its zesty aroma mingling with the subtle, soothing touch of CBD. It's the perfect drink to sip on whether you're lounging on your sun-dappled patio or hosting a chic little get-together.
Now, why reach for CBD-infused lemonade, you ask? Well, let's peel back the layers of this citrusy sensation. CBD, known for its soothing properties minus the high that THC brings, finds its perfect dance partner in zingy, fresh lemons.
Whether you're a CBD aficionado or a lemonade lover, or both, this concoction is all about celebrating the good life, one refreshing sip at a time.
Determining Your Dosage: How Much CBD Is Right For You?
Before you make this recipe for homemade lemonade it's important to determine the right CBD dosage for you. CBD is about personalization and finding that sweet spot where relaxation meets wellness. We suggest starting with a modest dose and adjusting according to your preference and experience.
If your dropper bottle indicates 2.5 mg per drop and you desire a 25 mg dose, you'll need 10 drops of the CBD oil. Remember, it's essential to start low and go slow, especially if you're new to CBD.
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.

How to make CBD-infused homemade lemonade.
Step 1. Make Simple Syrup: Combine 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 2. Make lemonade: Begin by squeezing the juice and pulp from the California lemons. Set the juice and any pulp aside. Discard any seeds. Pour 7 cups ice-cold water into a pitcher. Stir in lemon juice and pulp, then add your sweetener of choice to taste. Start with ¾ cup and go up from there by taste. Stir the mixture until it’s well combined. Adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking. Lemonade can be stored in the fridge for about 5 to 7 days without ice. Since ice will dilute the mixture, it's best to add it right before serving.
Step 3. Infuse homemade lemonade with CBD and serve: Add ice and lemonade to a glass. Use a dropper to measure in the desired dosage of CBD. Stir well to combine using a small whisk or spoon, some tinctures may not blend into the lemonade completely, but that is totally normal and ok. Serve immediately.
