Introduction
After a long, demanding day, few things feel as good as a moment of relaxation. Creating a relaxation ritual at night can make all the difference in the quality of your sleep, your emotional balance and even your mood the next day. For many, this ritual includes a warm, comforting and natural drink.
This is where CBD comes in — a natural compound from the cannabis plant known for its calming effects, without the psychoactive effects of THC. When combined with herbal teas, milks or drinks, CBD becomes not only effective, but also a sensory and enjoyable experience.
In this article, we share with you 5 simple recipes for relaxing CBD drinks that combine natural ingredients with CBD to help you end the day with peace of mind.
Benefits of Incorporating CBD into Evening Drinks
CBD is used by many people to reduce stress, relieve anxiety, and improve sleep quality. By interacting with our body’s endocannabinoid system, CBD helps regulate essential functions such as mood, pain, and sleep patterns.
When consuming CBD beverages:
- You are creating a moment of self-care and routine;
- Absorption can be smoother and more gradual, ideal for relaxing before bed;
- You can enhance the effects of CBD with ingredients such as chamomile, lavender, ginger or cocoa, all of which have calming or comforting properties.
What you should know before preparing CBD drinks
Before you start preparing your CBD drinks, here are some important tips:
Choose your CBD product wisely: for use in beverages, we recommend sublingual CBD oil or full-spectrum CBD oil. Make sure you are using quality products, such as those found in our online store.
Dose in moderation: Start with 5 to 10 mg of CBD per drink and adjust based on results.
Mixes well: CBD is fat-soluble, so it mixes best in drinks that contain some fat (like almond milk, coconut milk, or a little honey or plant-based butter).
Avoid boiling the CBD: high temperatures can degrade the active compounds. Add the CBD at the end of preparation, when the drink is already hot but not boiling.
