If you’ve already tried most CBD products out there, be it CBD edibles, softgels, or oils and tinctures, chances are that you’re eager to get your hands on something new. After all, the CBD industry is constantly growing, and there are so many exciting possibilities on the market.

But did you know that you don’t have to rely entirely on the manufacturers if you want to experiment with CBD? For example, you can make your own CBD-infused drinks at home using easy and nearly effortless recipes available online.

Ingesting CBD through CBD-infused drinks is not only a delicious way to include this natural substance in your daily routine, but it can also help you ensure that you never forget to take your daily portion of CBD oil. Keep reading the article below to learn more about preparing CBD drinks, and get ready to take notes!

Find the Right CBD Oil

One of the first things you should do when getting ready to make your own CBD-infused drinks is look for the right CBD oil. This won’t be an issue if you’ve already been using one for some time and have a favorite. Just make sure that your oil is unflavored so it doesn’t interfere with the flavors in your drink (unless your goal is to create a drink that tastes like a specific CBD product).

So, if you’re new to CBD, let’s quickly go through your options. If you purchase full-spectrum CBD oil, you should be aware that it will contain around 0.3% THC. THC is known for its intoxicating properties, but 0.3% is nowhere near enough to cause intoxication. Still, if you want to avoid this compound, broad-spectrum CBD oil, which typically contains 0% THC or just trace amounts, will be a better choice.

Additionally, those who prefer to ensure they don’t ingest any THC can also try CBD isolate, which contains only CBD and no other cannabinoids or plant compounds.

If you’re worried that the dropper applicator will make it challenging to control how much CBD oil you add to your drink, you can always get CBD softgels. The softgels contain a precise amount of CBD oil, and you can make things easier by squeezing them into your drinks rather than fussing around with the dropper.

What Drinks Can You Make?

When it comes to adding CBD oil to drinks, it proves to be quite a versatile substance. Since oils are hydrophobic, you can’t expect them to mix and “disappear” in beverages such as water, tea, or coffee, but if you add them to a smoothie, they should be unnoticeable.

Here are some ideas you can follow when preparing your own CBD drinks.

Chamomile CBD Tea

Chamomile is highly regarded as a digestive relaxant. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and can help ease your anxiety. When infused with CBD oil, your evening cup of chamomile tea may be effective in supporting a good night’s sleep.

To make a chamomile CBD tea, start by brewing your favorite chamomile. It can be in the form of dried flowers, or you can use store-bought tea bags. Steep the chamomile for about 5 minutes and let it cool down to the temperature where it’s safe to drink. Then, add the desired amount of CBD oil and drink your relaxing tea.

CBD Smoothies

If you’re a fan of smoothies, you’ll be pleased to learn that they mix well with CBD oil. Regardless of what ingredients you use to prepare your daily smoothie, CBD oil will always match them, and once everything is blended, you won’t even notice its taste.

However, you can also try to elevate the taste of your smoothies with flavored CBD oil. For instance, if you’re making a smoothie with mango, then a tangy pineapple CBD oil should go well with it. For a smoothie made with berries and bananas, try using lemon-flavored CBD oil. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations until you find the one that suits your palate best!

CBD Mocktails

Did you know you don’t have to drink alcohol to enjoy delicious cocktails? Well, technically speaking, these won’t be cocktails but mocktails, but the idea is pretty simple.

For instance, you can make a delicious non-alcoholic, CBD-infused mojito with just a few ingredients. Take ice, a teaspoon of sugar, some mint, juice from three limes, and a can of soda water. Muddle the sugar with mint leaves, put ice into a tall glass, and add the lime juice and the mint-sugar mix. Top with soda water and a few drops of CBD oil, and enjoy!

You can google a recipe for virtually any mocktail and infuse it with CBD oil. For a dry cranberry spritzer, use cranberry or orange CBD oil, and for a virgin cucumber Gimlet, add lime CBD oil. The possibilities are endless!

CBD Coffee

CBD coffee can be a perfect way to start your day, especially if you feel like you need an extra energy boost in the morning.

There are a few options you can try when making CBD coffee.

The first, and probably the most effortless, includes purchasing CBD coffee beans. Then, all you have to do is brew them using a coffee machine, and voila, your coffee is ready!

If you prefer to stick to your regular coffee beans, though, or make an instant coffee, you can simply enjoy it warm and add CBD oil right before drinking it. For an iced coffee, add ice to your cup, top it with coffee and, optionally, a creamer of your choice, and finally, add CBD oil.

In Conclusion

There you have it — four ways to make your own CBD-infused drinks at home. As you can see, the process should be quite easy, and finding the right CBD oil will probably be the most challenging part, but chances are that you already have some personal favorites.

Once you decide what CBD oil you want to use, you can brew a delicious chamomile CBD tea, make fruity CBD-infused smoothies, turn your favorite cocktails into CBD mocktails, or give your morning coffee a slight CBD kick. Enjoy!
