Ingredients
- 2 Cups Water (for tea base)
- 1 tbsp Dried Cannabis Flower (for infusion, adjust potency based on preference)
- 1 tbsp Fresh Mint Leaves (or 1 tsp dried mint) (refreshing and cooling)
- 1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice (for a refreshing citrus note)
- ½ Cup Coconut Water (for hydration and a tropical flavor)

Instructions
🧊🌿 Prepare the Tea Base
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot.
- Add the cannabis flower and mint leaves to the boiling water.
- Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the herbs to infuse and release their properties.
- After simmering, strain the tea using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the solid herbs.
- Allow the tea to cool slightly.
🧊🌿 Sweeten the Tea (Optional)
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, stir in honey or maple syrup while the tea is still warm, ensuring it dissolves evenly.
- Add lemon juice for a citrusy note.
🧊🌿 Add Coconut Water and CBD
- Once the tea is cooled to room temperature, add the coconut water for a smooth, hydrating element.
- Stir in the CBD oil or cannabis tincture (if using), mixing thoroughly to ensure the cannabinoids are well-distributed throughout the mixture.
🧊🌿 Pour & Freeze
- Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds or ice cube trays.
- Make sure the molds are filled about three-quarters full to leave room for expansion as they freeze.
- Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for 4-6 hours or until completely solid.
🧊🌿 Serve
- Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds.
- Serve immediately as a cooling treat for a hot day or use in a skincare routine (e.g., cooling facial masks or as a skin refresher).
Betsy's Infusion Notes:
🧊🌿 Adjusting Potency: If you want a stronger cannabis effect, increase the amount of cannabis leaves used or adjust the dosage of CBD oil or cannabis tincture. Be sure to measure based on personal tolerance and desired effect.
🧊🌿 Sweetness: The addition of honey or maple syrup is optional but recommended for those who prefer a slightly sweeter treat. Adjust the amount to taste.
🧊🌿 Flavor Variations: Add lime zest or cucumber for additional cooling and refreshing flavor profiles. These could enhance the spa experience and complement the minty freshness.
🧊🌿 Alternative Uses: In addition to consuming these pops, they can be used for facial cooling treatments. Simply run the popsicle over your face or place the frozen pop inside a clean cloth to use as a cooling compress for skin rejuvenation.
These Cooling Mint-Cannabis Tea Pops are perfect for hot days or as part of a calming skincare routine. Enjoy them as a tasty treat, or use them as a refreshing addition to your spa rituals for a hydrating, relaxing experience.
