How to Make a Cannabis Infused Sleepy CBD Hot Toddy

When the days get shorter and colder, the season for warm and cozy drinks has come. Many people have already built a ritual around their morning coffee or night tea – making it an ideal container for a daily dose of cannabis. With health and immunity paramount, infusing cannabis is just as easy with hot beverages as it is with traditional ice cocktails for an extra boost in physical and mental wellbeing.

One of the most useful technologies in the manufacture of cannabis beverage products, from ground coffee to powder mixers, is nanoemulsion technology. Essentially, this process breaks the cannabis elements down into particles small enough to mix with other ingredients while maintaining potency. Cannabis products that are nanoemulsified are particularly efficient for beverages because they are relatively tasteless, allow cannabis to act quickly, and stay suspended in liquid without separating.

With seasonal flavors, we use a variety of cannabis products to create warming drinks that are as tasty as they are strong. Many of the cannabis beverage enhancers are interchangeable and come in a variety of flavors, including flavorless, to allow for maximum versatility and creativity when it comes to taking your beverages to the next level.

How to Make Delicious Warm Cannabis Infused Cocktails

Before you start mixing, here are a few tried and tested tips for the best canna cocktail experience:

  • After following a recipe, regularly sample the amounts of each ingredient and adjust them to achieve your ideal balance.
  • Use almost boiling water. Using water that has cooled down a bit from cooking is hot enough to bring the flavors together while also bringing out some of the more delicate notes of mix-ins – like matcha, fresh citrus, and spices – to glow.
  • Add your own torch: play with trimmings to personalize homemade drinks. Try everything from cinnamon sticks to honey.

Why the Sleepy CBD Hot Toddy?

Hot toddies are a cold weather staple to take the cold weather protection off of the common cold. Instead of flavoring with the classic whiskey, our version is made with CBD, which was specially developed for rest and relaxation.

Top: Fresh citrus fruits really make a difference in this drink as they add brightness and maximum flavor. You can use some of the seasoning for an even more intense citrus kick, and add-ins like ginger and turmeric would also be delicious and healthy additions.

  • 7 ounces of hot water
  • Juice of ½ lemon, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
