CBD Honey Recipes
Our premium CBD Honey is so hot right now, we had to make a whole category for these cooling recipes!
You’ll love the taste and texture of our CBD Honey, which combines our full-spectrum tinctures with raw, local and organic honey. Why use honey? Honey is well known for its medicinal properties. In Ayurvedic medicine, it is used as a carrier for its synergistic effect with herbs. Honey enhances digestion, absorption and carries medicine to the deeper tissues of the body (to promote healing).
CBD and honey are a dream team when paired together. With CBD, you get a natural way to reduce pain, anxiety, and other ailments. Honey has long been known for its ability to soothe sore throats and help with digestion.
When combined in one tasty treat, CBD honey is the perfect way to get all the benefits of both in one product. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also good for you! We know that CBD isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (or coffee). It can have a grassy or earthy flavor that may not appeal to everyone’s taste buds. But CBD honey is different because it gives you all the benefits of CBD without any added flavors!
Now that you have a little variety to choose from above, let’s take a look at our CBD Honey recipes.
