Tips for Making CBD-Infused Drinks
- Ensure products are lab-tested. Because CBD is a supplement, not a drug, it’s not regulated by the FDA. This means there are a wide range of CBD products on the market. Many of them aren’t actually CBD and could be dangerous. Be sure to identify reputable brands that have been tested by third-party labs and have certificates of analysis.
- Start with small doses. CBD affects everyone differently. Start with small doses, then work your way up with stronger doses and/or different systems until you find the right dosage. Depending on which product you use, CBD can also affect the flavor, so starting off with limited doses can help identify how you want your drink to taste.
- All it takes is a few drops. While some CBD drinks are specifically crafted, you can introduce CBD into any drink. You can create a CBD beer, CBD soda, or CBD water by adding a few drops of oil or a tincture.
- Don’t be afraid of fat. Research shows that ingesting CBD with high-fat foods can significantly increase CBD absorption. Look for opportunities to use full-fat milk or chocolate, if the recipe calls for it.
- Choose between oils and tinctures. Oil tends to float to the top of the drink, while tinctures tend to blend more with liquid, allowing you consume CBD with every sip. The experiences are a bit different, but both have their benefits.
