Betsy's Infusion Notes:
🍊 Terpenes Highlighted:
💗 Caryophyllene (cannabis oil): Anti-inflammatory, supports heart health
💗 Limonene (citrus): Uplifting, digestive aid
💗 Geosmin (beets): Earthy aroma tied to improved oxygen transport
💗 Flavor Profile: Sweet, tangy, earthy, slightly bitter, mildly spicy
🍊 Infusion Tip: Always stir the vinaigrette just before drizzling to evenly distribute the cannabis oil.
🍊 Variation: Add goat cheese or avocado for creaminess, or substitute blood orange for extra color.
🌿 Microdosing Note: Adjust cannabis oil quantity based on your personal tolerance and desired effect. A standard 1 tsp infused oil typically delivers 5–10mg THC depending on potency.
