How to infuse your CBD flowers: The guide to successful relaxation

Have you just bought some beautiful CBD flowers and want to enjoy their benefits without smoking them? Infusion is the healthiest and most relaxing way to consume hemp. But be warned, preparing CBD tea isn’t something you can just wing!

Discover our secrets to stop wasting your flowers and experience real effects.

The secret to effectiveness: Unleashing the flower’s potential

This is the technical point that many people are unaware of: In its natural state, the CBD flower contains its active ingredients in an “acidic” form (CBDa). To unlock its full relaxing potential and get the CBD you want, all you need to do is give it a little boost with heat!

This is called decarboxylation. To ensure a perfect infusion, we recommend toasting your roughly crumbled flowers in the oven at 110°C for about 30 minutes before brewing. This “activates” your flowers!

The magic ingredient: Fat

CBD is a fat-soluble molecule. This means it doesn’t dissolve in water alone. For your body to absorb the CBD in your cup, you absolutely must add a source of fat.

Our suggestions for pairing your tea:

• For a touch of indulgence: A splash of whole milk or cream.

• For health: One teaspoon of coconut oil.

• For taste: A knob of butter for a creamy texture.

The ideal recipe:

To make the perfect infusion, follow these 5 simple steps:

1. Roughly crumble your CBD flowers and spread them on a baking sheet. Bake them at 110°C (230°F) for 30 minutes. This step transforms the CBDa into active CBD for maximum effectiveness.
2. Bring the water to a boil, then let it rest for a moment to reach a temperature of about 90°C. Water that is too boiling could alter the most delicate aromas.
3. Pour the water into your cup and add your fat (milk, coconut oil, butter).
4. Place your activated flowers in a tea ball or infuser and immerse them in the mixture.
5. Let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes. This is the time needed for a full release of aromas and benefits..

Hot or cold: It’s up to you!

The advantage of this recipe is its versatility:

• Comforting version: Enjoy it immediately for a cozy moment.

• Iced Tea version: Let it cool and then place your mixture in the refrigerator with some ice cubes and a slice of lemon. It’s the perfect refreshing and relaxing drink for summer days!

Which flower should I choose for my infusion?

Depending on the time of day, here are our recommendations for your wellness ritual:

What dosage should I use for my infusion?

Dosage is a very personal matter, as each body reacts differently.

• To start: We recommend about 0.5g of flowers per cup. This is the ideal dose to experience the effects.

• For regular users: You can increase the amount to 1g per cup if you are looking for deeper relaxation, especially to promote sleep.

Aifé’s advice: It’s best to start slowly and increase the quantity as you taste to find your own “balance point”..

Storage: Keep your flowers fresh

To ensure your infusions retain all their flavor (the famous terpenes) and potency, your flowers must be properly stored:

• Protect from light: Use our opaque jars or a tinted glass jar.

• Keep it dry: Humidity is the enemy of hemp.

• At room temperature: Avoid thermal shock.

Why choose infusion??

• Health: No toxic fumes for your lungs.

• Duration: When ingested, the effects take longer to arrive (30-60 min) but last between 4 and 6 hours.

• Discretion: A simple cup of tea, anywhere, anytime.

Conclusion: Transform your wellness ritual

Infusing your CBD flowers is like giving yourself a moment of peace and well-being. By taking the time to decarboxylate your flowers and add a fat, you’re not just drinking herbal tea: you’re enjoying a truly unique experience.
