If you’re thinking of trying a CBD tincture, don’t let the bitter taste scare you off. Instead of just dropping it under your tongue, you can mix your tincture with a whole host of drink options.
What Is a CBD Tincture?
Before you start adding CBD tincture to your drinks, you might be wondering what it is. The CBD tinctures sold by Revana Collective have an organic coconut oil base and are infused with several cannabinoids as well as other natural ingredients (lemon balm herb, valerian root, hops flower, etc.).
In comparison to other products containing cannabinoids, CBD tinctures are more easily absorbed in the body due to being water-soluble, meaning you’ll receive the desired effect faster. It has a long shelf life, and the extract is more potent and highly concentrated, so even the one mL serving size will have a big effect.
When you begin using a CBD tincture, make sure to start with a low dose and slowly figure out the right amount for you. You can also use this dosage calculator to learn the best dosage for you.
Can a CBD Tincture Make You High?
Since CBD doesn’t have any psychoactive chemicals, you won’t get high off it, but the tincture will have a relaxing effect on your body. Many advocates of CBD products use them to relieve pain, anxiety, depression, inflammation and stress. Cannabinoids may also help with sleep problems, although if you’re feeling too fatigued, be sure to adjust your dose.
What are the Best Drinks to Mix CBD Tinctures Into?
Because of the refined process involved in preserving the cannabinoids in the organic coconut oil, the tincture has a notably organic taste. Not everyone loves the flavor, but it can be added to any drink without its effects being diluted. There is no wrong liquid to mix your CBD tincture with, so you have a lot to choose from.
Hot Water
Keep it simple. If you’re not as averse to the taste of the tincture but still want an alternative to just dropping it under your tongue, you can’t go wrong with just mixing it with hot water. Just wait until it’s at a safe temperature before adding the CBD. This same principle applies to any hot drink.
Coffee + Tea
Now, we get into the drinks that will bury the taste of the tincture more heavily. Caffeine doesn’t obstruct the CBD, so you can mix it in your morning cup of coffee or tea without worrying about reducing the cannabinoids’ effect.
In fact, the CBD tincture may help mitigate the anxiety and overstimulation caused by caffeine in the body. Adding a drop or two of the tincture to your drink can help if you want your daily hit of energy without feeling jumpy.
Smoothies
Considering you can put anything from fruit skins to protein powder in a smoothie, adding a CBD tincture into the mix is easy. There are also many recipes for CBD smoothies, including mango, melon, beet and green.
Alcohol
Alcohol doesn’t weaken the CBD’s intended effect. However, CBD doesn’t reduce the effects of alcohol or make it safer. You shouldn’t depend on CBD to alleviate all your hangover symptoms.
Some bars even serve CBD cocktails, although you can also make drinks at home that cost a lot less, from Moscow Mules to margaritas.
There are a lot of other drinks you can mix your CBD tincture with as well, including but not limited to:
- Milk
- Soda
- Juice
- Apple Cider
- Hot Chocolate
- Milkshakes
- Mocktails
- Bubble Tea
You really can’t go wrong with any liquid and CBD combination. And the mixing possibilities become even more intriguing with the different flavors of tincture available, so you can add a hint of peppermint to your cocktail or bergamot to your tea.
