How To Make CBD Tea And Six Ingredients You Must Try

CBD is fast becoming an easy and popular way to relieve pain, even for those who have never experimented with cannabis before. Learning how to make CBD tea is the perfect beginner-friendly introduction or addition to a holistic wellness plan.

CBD offers a variety of health benefits, from anxiety and pain relief to better skin and heart health. However, because CBD is separate from THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis), CBD users can enjoy the health benefits of CBD without experiencing psychoactive effects (or “highs”) associated with cannabis. CBD users can safely use CBD without worrying about disrupting their daily lives.

What is CBD Tea?

CBD tea is a drink that uses various concentrations of CBD to induce relaxation or to aid in other purported CBD health benefits. Like other teas, CBD tea comes in a wide variety of flavors. Consumers can choose the amount that best suits their needs.

In addition, some types of tea or tea components can have additional health benefits. For example, green tea is an antioxidant, and small studies have shown that it can help with certain types of cancer, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular diseases.

Studies in young adults using CBD have found these benefits range from stress relief, relaxation, and better sleep. For people finding relief from CBD, there are other great benefits, including:

• lower medical costs
• reduced reliance on drugs that cause unpleasant or harmful side effects
• improved quality of life

Making CBD Tea

The benefits of CBD mimick many of the same reasons people drink tea. CBD has mood-enhancing properties, but it also promotes healthy sleep, cardiovascular and intestinal health.

You will need

• 1 teaspoon of CBD oil (or 1 gram of decarboxylated flowers)
• 1 tea bag (any flavor)
• ½ cup of boiling water
• Flavor additives or other ingredients to relieve your discomfort

instructions

1. If you’re using buds, cut open a tea bag and fill it with the grist so it can soak in the water as it boils to release the CBD.
2. Fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a boil.
3. Pour the boiling water over the tea bag, then add the cannabis oil if you are using that.
4. If you’ve used bud milling, gently stir the tea bag for a few minutes after pouring it before adding flavors like milk, honey, lemon, ginger, etc.
5. Take the tea bag out of the cup and squeeze it gently to release the delightful flavors and smells of your favorite tea.
6. That’s it! Your CBD tea is now ready to serve and is best enjoyed hot.
