CBD Infusions: How to Properly Prepare Your Herbal Tea to Maximize the Benefits?

Want to enjoy the relaxing effects of CBD through a delicious herbal tea, but aren't sure how to best prepare it? Unlike a simple, traditional infusion, preparing a CBD herbal tea requires a few specific steps to ensure its effectiveness, including the addition of fat. In this article, discover our step-by-step guide to successfully brewing your infusion and maximizing the benefits of CBD, from choosing the right water temperature to the optimal infusion time.

How to prepare a CBD herbal tea?

Preparing a CBD herbal tea requires a little more attention than a traditional infusion. Because CBD is fat-soluble, it needs a fat to be properly absorbed by your body. A spoonful of milk, cream, or coconut oil will do the trick. To optimize the effects, be sure to use hot but not boiling water, around 85°C, which will preserve the properties of the CBD while allowing for a good infusion.

Decarboxylation: an essential step

Decarboxylation is essential if you're using CBD flower. It's a process that converts the inactive CBDA into active CBD. Without this process, you won't fully enjoy the relaxing benefits of your herbal tea.

Here's how to decarboxylate your CBD flowers in 4 simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 110°C

2. Crumble your flowers into small pieces

3. Place them on parchment paper

4. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour

You'll know it's ready when the flowers turn a slightly brownish hue. They should also crumble easily between your fingers.

Good news: If you're using our infusions , CBD oil, or concentrated products, you can skip this step. These products are already decarboxylated.

Added fat for better absorption

You have several options at your disposal, each equally effective. Milk, whether plant-based or animal-based, is often the most practical choice. A simple 20 to 30 ml dose is enough to make a difference. If you prefer, you can also opt for half a teaspoon of oil. Coconut oil is particularly popular for its additional benefits, but a neutral fat like sunflower oil will also work.

To ensure your brew is a success, add your fat right at the beginning of the infusion. Stir gently and regularly for 3 to 5 minutes. This step allows the CBD to bind to the lipids and be better absorbed by your body. If you're using oil, you may notice it tending to rise to the surface—this is completely normal. Simply stir occasionally while enjoying your herbal tea.

Recommended dosage and amounts

The ideal dosage for CBD tea depends on several factors, including your weight and sensitivity. To start, aim for between 5 and 10 mg of CBD per cup. This is a moderate dose that works for most people.

Let it steep quietly for 5 to 8 minutes.

You can adjust the dose according to your needs. Start slowly with a smaller amount, then gradually increase if necessary. Listen to your body: some people feel the effects with very little CBD, others need a larger dose.

Don't forget to check the CBD concentration on your product packaging. This will help you calculate the correct amount to use. Once you've found your ideal dose, write it down somewhere—this way, you'll be able to easily create your perfect herbal tea.

Be careful, most commercial infusions use hemp leaves, which is one of the parts of the plant with the lowest concentration of cannabinoids. Choose a herbal tea that contains at least 30% hemp flowers.

But beyond dosage, there are other tips that can help you get the most out of your CBD infusion. After all, every detail counts when it comes to maximizing its benefits.

Tips to Maximize the Benefits of Your CBD Tea

Your CBD herbal tea can become a true wellness ritual when consumed optimally. To fully appreciate its benefits, it's essential to understand how its effects develop over time. These effects, which generally last 3 to 6 hours, can be optimized with a few simple tips. Let's discover together how to get the most out of your infusion, from the ideal time of consumption to the little secrets of preparation.

How to increase the potency of CBD?

The potency of your herbal tea depends directly on the CBD concentration of the product used. For more pronounced effects, choose highly concentrated products. CBD crystals, with their content close to 100%, offer the highest potency. Highly concentrated CBD oil (over 20%) is also an excellent choice to boost your infusion.

Here are the options, listed from most powerful to mildest:

• CBD crystals : the most concentrated solution. However, you won't benefit from the entourage effect .
• Strong oil (over 12%) : a good compromise. If the oil is full-spectrum , its effects will be even more powerful thanks to the synergy of cannabinoids and terpenes.
• CBD flowers (8-11%) : ideal for a smoother, more complete experience.

Be careful, however: a higher concentration does not guarantee better results. Start with moderate doses and adjust as needed. The important thing is to find the dosage that works for you.

The alliance of CBD and plants for enhanced effectiveness

While CBD alone offers undeniable benefits, some specific issues can be better addressed by combining it with other plants with complementary properties. This natural synergy maximizes the effects of each ingredient, providing a much more effective and targeted infusion.

• For example, chamomile enhances the relaxing properties of CBD, making it ideal for promoting deep sleep.
• Yarrow , for its part, combines perfectly with CBD to relieve menstrual pain thanks to its antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Finally, plants such as sage or lemon balm provide emotional and physical calm, harmoniously complementing the action of CBD.

It is this judicious combination of medicinal plants and CBD that makes all the difference in our infusions, allowing them to offer natural, effective solutions adapted to each need.
