Here’s a step-by-step guide to making CBD-infused honey:
Ingredients Needed
- Honey (raw, unprocessed honey is best)
- CBD oil or tincture
- A container or jar made of glass that fits tightly on the lid
- A spoon or small whisk for mixing
Steps
Determine the Desired Potency
- Decide how much CBD you want to infuse into the honey. A general guideline is to use 1-2 drops of CBD oil per teaspoon of honey for a mild dose, or up to 4-5 drops per teaspoon for a stronger dose.
Measure the Honey
- Pour the desired amount of honey into the glass jar or container. It’s best to start with a smaller quantity until you get the hang of the process.
Add the CBD Oil
- Using the dropper from the CBD oil bottle, carefully add the desired number of drops to the honey. Start with a lower amount if you’re unsure, as you can always add more later.
Mix Thoroughly
- Use a spoon or small whisk to thoroughly mix the CBD oil into the honey. Stir vigorously to ensure the oil is evenly distributed throughout the honey.
Allow to Infuse
- Once mixed, let the CBD-infused honey sit for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This allows the CBD to fully incorporate into the honey.
Stir Again
- After the infusion time, give the honey another good stir to ensure the CBD is evenly distributed.
Store Properly
- Transfer the CBD-infused honey to an airtight container or jar and store it in a cool, dark place. Honey has a long shelf life, but the CBD may degrade over time, so it’s best to use it within a few months.
Enjoy and Adjust as Needed
- Use your CBD-infused honey as desired, adding it to teas, drizzling it over toast or yogurt, or incorporating it into baked goods or desserts. If you need a stronger or milder dose, adjust the amount of CBD oil accordingly in your next batch.
Remember, the effects of CBD can vary from person to person, so start with a small amount and increase gradually as needed. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using CBD, especially if you’re taking any medications or have underlying health conditions.
