Bon appétit, my dear readers! As we expand our culinary boundaries, we should not forget the beverages that accompany our meals. Coffee is an integral part of many of our lives, and today, we’re going to give it a delightful twist. We are going to marry the invigorating chill of iced coffee with the calming benefits of CBD oil. This combination is sure to make your day start off on a relaxing, yet invigorating note.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes (to brew coffee)
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
2 cups of strong brewed coffee
2 cups of ice cubes
1 cup of milk (feel free to use almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option)
2 tablespoons of sugar, or to taste (you could also use honey or a sugar substitute)
2 droppers of your preferred CBD oil (about 20mg-40mg, but please consult your healthcare provider)
Instructions
- Start off by brewing a strong pot of coffee. Remember, the ice will dilute the coffee, so make it stronger than you would typically drink it hot.
- Allow the coffee to cool at room temperature. This may take a while, but it is a critical step to ensure the best flavor. Placing hot coffee in the fridge can result in a bitter brew.
- Once the coffee has cooled, pour it into an ice tray and freeze it. This coffee ice will ensure that your drink doesn’t become watered down as it chills.
- When you’re ready to serve, place the coffee ice cubes in a glass, filling about halfway.
- Warm the milk slightly – just until it’s lukewarm. This will help the CBD oil blend more smoothly.
- Add the sugar to the warmed milk and stir until it’s completely dissolved.
- Add the CBD oil to your milk and sugar mixture. Stir it well to ensure that the CBD oil is evenly distributed.
- Pour the CBD-infused milk mixture over the coffee ice cubes.
- Stir, taste, and adjust the sweetness if needed.
Conclusion
And there you have it, my friends – a delightful CBD Infused Iced Coffee! It’s a perfect balance of awakening and relaxing, an unusual juxtaposition that adds a little je ne sais quoi to your daily routine. Remember, the key to a good meal, or even a beverage, is the love and care you put into preparing it. Enjoy this coffee on a hot summer day, or any day you need a little pick-me-up with a touch of tranquility.
