Instructions
π§πΏ 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.
π§πΏ 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.
π§πΏ 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.
π§πΏ 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.
π§πΏ 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).
