Betsy's Infusion Notes:
🥤 Terpenes Highlighted:
👕 Myrcene (from mint and cannabis): muscle relaxant, digestive soother
👕 Limonene (from lime and kombucha): gut stimulant, mood booster
👕 Beta-Caryophyllene (from cannabis): binds to CB2 receptors in the gut to reduce inflammation
🥤 Flavor Profile: Spicy from ginger, tangy from kombucha and lime, herbal from mint, and lightly sweetened by honey or tincture carrier oil.
🥤 Infusion Options: Use cannabis-infused honey for full-spectrum effects and added sweetness, or a CBD/THC tincture for fast absorption and control over dosage. Microdose with ~2–5 mg cannabinoids per serving.
🥤 Serving Suggestions: A great non-alcoholic aperitif or post-meal digestive drink. Especially beneficial after a heavy or fiber-rich meal.
🥤 Gut Health Boost: Kombucha provides live probiotics, mint eases bloating and gas, and ginger stimulates enzyme production for better digestion.
