Cover again and set aside for another hour until it doubles in size.

Roll out your risen dough onto a floured surface then spread your melted chocolate evenly on it. Top it off with your frozen raspberries, then roll the dough into a tight log.

• Flour for dusting

In a large frying pan, add onion and cook until onions are translucent. Add garlic powder and drained spinach to the mix, then set aside for it to cool slightly. In another bowl, put the onion and spinach inside before adding the package of cream cheese. Salt and pepper to season.

Roll out your puff pastry dough on a well-floured surface to 9 x 11 inches. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking tray before adding your toppings. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees, then spread your spinach, onion, and cream cheese mixture, leaving 1-inch space at the edges. Bake for 25 minutes or until puff pastry is puffed and golden. Remove tart from the oven and let cool before serving.

Turkey and Brie CBD Croissants

Our last Mother’s Day brunch recipe is our favorite yet. We took the original idea from Kitchensanctuary.com and switched up the ham and cheese to a more refined combination of turkey and brie. Enjoy!

• 8 slices of turkey sandwich meat
• Brie, sliced
• Cranberry sauce or raspberry jam
• A couple of drops of berry-flavored CBD oil drops.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees, then slice croissants in half lengthways. Place a couple of slices of brie, then turkey, then brie again. Mix the jam or cranberry sauce with the brown sugar, dijon mustard, and CBD oil drops. Place the croissants onto a baking tray then spread the jam mixture on top of the croissants. Sprinkle the poppy seed over the croissants, then place croissants into the oven for 6-7 minutes. Serve immediately after you take it out of the oven.

Let some wise words help improve your frame of mind and encourage positivity! Here are our favorite inspirational quotes on life to help get your year off to a good start.

“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”

Mahatma Gandhi

If there’s one thing trending in a huge way this year, it’s the subject of our health. For once, there is an intentional movement towards taking better care of our overall wellbeing, instead of sacrificing our health to make money. It’s one of our favorite quotes because it’s a good reminder that there are essential things in life that we can never neglect, and our health is a top priority of many people.

“To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise, we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.”

Buddha

As you may already know, our mental and emotional health ties firmly to our physical health. What we do with our bodies has a significant impact on how we think and how we take on our day. This short inspirational quote is one of our favorites because it reminds us to take good care of physical wellbeing, which is easily neglected.

“There are no limits to what you can accomplish, except the limits you place on your thinking.”

Brian Tracy

The most significant gap between where we are and where we want to be is in the space between our two ears. Our thinking can make us or break us, so this inspirational quote on life is important in reminding us to take control of the way we think. Let this year be the year that you finally allow yourself to exceed your limits.

“Well done is better than well said.”

Benjamin Franklin

It is this year when we finally put action into our plans. As this short inspirational quote says, it’s better to do than to announce what we’ll do. It’ll do wonders for our self-image to accomplish the goals we set out instead of just setting them.

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

Melody Beattie

During our busy lives, it’s easy to forget just how to appreciate and be grateful for the little things around us. This New Year’s inspirational quote gives us an insight on how to tap into that special awareness for beauty and happiness that will provide us with fulfillment.

“No one is perfect—that’s why pencils have erasers.”

Wolfgang Riebe

As the New Year motivates us to build a new version of ourselves, it’s important to remember to give ourselves some slack from time to time. This quote is one of our favorites because it reminds us that it isn’t about perfection, but our effort to get better every day.

“No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else”

P.T. Barnum

As with the trends of this New Year, this quote from P.T. Barnum is the quintessential quote to uphold in your life. It’s your time to rise and be proud of who you are, no matter how different you are from others around you.

“Everything is possible. The impossible just takes longer.”

Dan Brown

When it comes to personal growth, your mindset is the first thing to tweak to better yourself in the coming year. It’s all in how you think, and how you see impossible tasks in a different light. Everything is possible.

“Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.”

Napoleon Hill

How true it is that timing will never be just right according to your standards. It’s a new year, so get out of your comfort zone and act upon all those goals you’ve ever dreamt of!

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Maya Angelou

Lastly, let this year be the year that we all choose to be kind whenever we get a chance. These are changing times, where we should be intentional about how we treat others around us. Whenever we get a little selfish or self-absorbed, remember this inspirational quote on life by Maya Angelou, which taught us that the most important thing is how we make others feel.

Top 3 CBD Holiday Drink Recipes

Whether you are CBD-curious or you are a CBD veteran, you will definitely want to try making your own edibles with these incredibly easy and delicious classic recipes with a new spin. Festive and fun, these recipe inspirations are going to be a big hit at your next holiday celebration.

Each CBD drink recipe is unique and straightforward to replicate. They are based on original recipes found on the web and modified to become CBD infused drink recipes. They are all non-alcoholic but full of flavor. Here are our picks for the top three CBD holiday drink recipes with our own Healthy Hemp Oil spin on it.

Candy Cane Julep

We found this sweet recipe by Tatanisha from awortheyread.com and it gave us all the holiday feels. The original creator made this drink because of their love for everything peppermint. With a swap for a few ingredients, this can quickly become a holiday favorite.

Ingredients

• 2-3 oz. of Cranberry Ginger Ale (or Ginger Ale mixed with Cranberry juice)
• A couple of drops of Tasty Hemp Oil: Spearmint Flavored CBD oil drops (available in 300 mg or 1000 mg of CBD per 1 oz.)
• 1 oz. of simple syrup or Mint simple syrup (Coffee syrup dispensers)
• 1 cup of crushed ice
• Candy Cane for stir stick/garnish
• A sprig of mint and fresh pine

Modification Note: You can use simple syrup because the minty flavor comes from the spearmint flavored CBD oil, but for extra mintiness, you can use peppermint or Mint simple syrup. Similarly, to retain the Candy Cane aspect of the Candy Cane julep, it’s best to use a red-colored drink like Cranberry Ginger Ale, but the CBD infused drink recipe is very versatile, and you can switch it up however you’d like.

Directions

1. Add the syrup and CBD oil to the bottom of a glass.
2. Add your crushed ice.
3. Fill to the rim with the Ginger Ale.
4. Add your candy cane stir stick to mix the syrup and CBD oils around.
5. Garnish with a sprig of mint and fresh pine for the holiday upgrade.

Cranberry-Citrus Sparkler

What’s more synonymous with the holidays than recipes with cranberries in them? This next CBD drink recipe is all about that. It’s toast-worthy and pleasantly fancy—here’s our spin on the Cranberry Fizz Mocktail thanks to Thistlewoodfarms.com.

Ingredients

• 3 oz. of Ginger Ale or Sparkling Cider
• 5 pumps of Elixinol Hemp Extract – CBD Tincture 300mg Citrus Twist
• 3 oz. of Cran-Apple Juice
• A squeeze of lemon or lime juice
• ½ tsp. of ground cinnamon
• 3 tbsp. of sugar

Modification Note: For something enjoyable, if you’ve got the time, instead of using the CBD tincture and cran-apple juice, you can try melting some of our CBDfx: CBD Gummies into some water and substituting that—simply add the gummies to a pan, add around 3 oz. of water to cover (and prevent sticking and burning), and heat to around 150 degrees Fahrenheit!

Directions

1. Combine the sugar and ground cinnamon until they’re entirely blended, then put aside in a pile on a plate or cutting board.
2. Rub a wedge of lemon or lime around the rim of your serving glass.
3. Dip the rim of the glass into the sugar mix and wiggle it until the rim is fully covered.
4. Fill the glass with ice.
5. Add the Cran-Apple juice and the CBD tincture (or the melted-gummy substitute!).
6. Add a splash of fresh lemon or lime juice.
7. Top off with the sparkling cider or Ginger Ale.

Spicy Apple Cider-tini

Food and drink play an enormous role in the holiday season. As such, if you are wondering how you can make CBD a part of your holidays with some new recipe inspiration, look no further than this warm and spicy mocktini as your pre-dinner cocktail. Thanks to the inspiration from Rachelcooks.com for her Ginger Cinnamon Apple Cider Mocktail, now we have just the right drink for a fall party.

Ingredients for the Spicy Simple Syrup

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of water
• 1-2 inches of ginger root (peeled and sliced into thin pieces)
• A few drops of Tasty Hemp Oil: Vanilla Flavored CBD Oil Drops
• 2 cinnamon sticks

Ingredients for the Cider-tini

• 1 cup of apple cider
• 2 tbsp. of the spicy simple syrup
• Ice for the shaker
• Cinnamon and sugar mixed for rimming the serving glass
• Slice of apple and cinnamon stick for garnish

Modification Note: If you don’t have apple cider, you can match the heavier texture of the cider with a bit of applesauce with apple juice. And if you like extra spiciness, it’s better to grate a bit of ginger than adding a few thin slices. The richness of the vanilla flavored CBD oil will enhance the cinnamon taste, but if you prefer to add the natural flavored CBD oil instead, that works too.

Directions

1. Add the sugar, cinnamon sticks, water, and ginger root to a small saucepan over medium heat.

Read on to learn about CBD tinctures and how you can make your own at home.

What are CBD tinctures?

A CBD tincture is a liquid extract of the cannabis plant, that is taken orally as an herbal preparation to relieve chronic pain, balance mood and assist with sleep (1). CBD tincture contains cannabidiol (CBD), along with a host of other active constituents of the cannabis plant, such as cannabinoids, alkaloids, glycosides, minerals, phytonutrients and terpenes.

CBD tinctures are most commonly made from the industrial hemp plant, a strain of cannabis that has been bred to contain less than 0.3% THC. However, CBD tinctures can also be made from low-THC strains of the marijuana plant.

For many who suffer from chronic pain, tinctures are a preferred method of CBD ingestion because of the ease of use, long shelf life and speed of delivery. CBD tinctures are administered sublingually, by taking a small dose of the extract under the tongue. The CBD is absorbed promptly by the mucous membrane in the mouth into the bloodstream, delivering relief within 15 minutes.

CBD tinctures are easy to make at home—you won’t need a chemistry degree to make your own. Read on to learn just how easy it is to make your own CBD tincture. But first, let’s take a look at some of the distinctions between store-bought and homemade CBD tinctures.

Homemade versus commercial

What is a commercial CBD tincture?

A commercial CBD tincture is an herbal cannabis preparation that is manufactured by a commercial producer for public sale. Commercial CBD tinctures commonly contain CBD oil extracted from the hemp or marijuana plant via commercial extraction methods and must comply with strict standards for quality, efficacy, purity, and labeling.

What is a homemade CBD tincture?

A homemade CBD tincture is a CBD-infused herbal preparation that you can make yourself at home by dissolving plant material—such as the flower, leaves and stem of the hemp plant—into a liquid solvent, such as high-proof alcohol, or a non-alcoholic carrier liquid, such as coconut oil, olive oil or vegetable glycerine.

What are the differences between commercial and homemade?

When it comes to choosing between homemade versus commercial CBD oil tinctures, it is essential to note which route works better for your lifestyle. Commercial products offer convenience and purity, while DIY tinctures provide full control over potency and ingredients.

Purity

The significant difference between homemade versus commercial is purity. A commercial CBD oil tincture is more thoroughly filtered than a homemade concoction. Commercial producers are required to meet strict standards for purity and utilize sophisticated filtration processes to thoroughly remove solvent and contaminants from the cannabis extract.

Ingredients

With a homemade CBD tincture, you have the freedom to select the type of cannabis you wish to extract your CBD from—if you’d prefer to avoid THC, you can use industrial hemp. If you’re in a legal state and aren’t averse to the effects of THC, then you can make your extract from a high-CBD strain of marijuana.

You also have the choice of liquids to extract your CBD into. If you wish to go the traditional route, then you can select a quality, high-proof alcohol. If you are sensitive to alcohol and would prefer a non-alcoholic tincture, then you can make your CBD tincture using vegetable oil or vegetable glycerine as the solvent.

Potency

While it’s easy and convenient to purchase a CBD tincture online or from a store, making your own CBD tincture at home allows you to have full control over the concentration of CBD. By tweaking the amount of plant matter, or experimenting with different strains of cannabis, you can create your own signature CBD tincture with a potency that’s perfect for you.

Methods of making CBD tinctures

Making your own CBD tinctures at home is pretty easy, but before you get started, you’ll need to decide on the method that’s right for you.

The first thing to consider when deciding on your preferred method is the solvent.

Solvents

Alcohol

Traditionally, herbal tinctures are made with alcohol. Using alcohol as the solvent produces a potent CBD extract that is very quickly absorbed by the body when taken sublingually (under the tongue).

While the amount of alcohol you will consume when taking an alcohol-based CBD tincture is minimal, it still needs to be metabolized by the body. If you have a sensitivity to alcohol, or you dislike the flavor or mouthfeel of alcohol, you should consider non-alcoholic methods for making CBD tincture.

Vegetable oil

If you’d prefer to use a non-alcoholic base for your tincture, or find high-grade alcohol hard to source, then vegetable oil method is a popular alternative. This method is simple and accessible, as it uses ingredients that you’re likely to already have in your pantry, such as coconut, olive or sunflower oil.

CBD tinctures made from vegetable oil are ideal to add to food and drink. If you’re interested in making your own CBD edibles, then the vegetable oil method may be the best match for you.

Glycerine

Vegetable glycerin is a clear liquid commonly derived from soy, palm and coconuts. Its lipid structure makes it an ideal solvent to replace alcohol because the cannabinoids attach to the lipids during extraction.

Keep in mind that CBD tinctures made with vegetable glycerin—also known as glycerites (2)— tend to be lower in potency than alcohol-based CBD tinctures, but they’re a great alternative for people who prefer to avoid alcohol.

Steeping

Steeping describes the process of dissolving the plant extract into the solvent. That may sound complicated, but steeping is a fairly simple and familiar process. If you’ve ever made a cup of tea, you’ll understand that the tea leaves need to steep in water for a period of time for the flavors and tannins of the tea to infuse into the water.

There are two methods of steeping. The first is the traditional method of maceration. The second is the more modern method of percolation.

The decision between maceration and percolation depends on one important factor: time.

Traditional maceration – the slow and simple method

Maceration is the most traditional method of making a tincture and is ideal for beginners. Simply add plant material and solvent to an airtight jar, and leave to steep in a cool, dark place.

You’ll require patience with this method, as it takes at least six weeks for the CBD and phytonutrients of the cannabis plant to dissolve into your chosen solvent.

Percolation – the quick but complex method

If you’d prefer to speed up the extraction process, you can use the percolation method. As with maceration, plant matter and solvent are added to an air-tight jar. But instead of leaving your jar on a shelf to steep for a lengthy period, the jar is instead placed into a water bath and brought to simmer.

While percolation is a bit more complex than maceration, and requires some extra utensils, this method is an ideal way to cut down the steeping time if you need your CBD tincture in a hurry.

Ingredients for making your own

Now that you’ve decided on your preferred solvent and extraction method, it’s time to select your ingredients.

What ingredients do you need to make one?

The first and most important ingredient that you’ll need to make a CBD tincture is cannabis.

Cannabis

CBD tincture can be made from the flower, leaf and stem of the cannabis plant. It is common to make them from “trim” or “shake,” which is the surplus cannabis left over after harvesting the flower. Trim can be used alone or combined with flower as an affordable option.

As noted earlier, CBD tincture can be made from either industrial hemp or high-CBD strains of marijuana, which are different types of Cannabis plants.

Industrial Hemp

We recommend using industrial hemp for your homemade CBD tincture. This is because industrial hemp contains a high concentration of CBD, and less than 0.3% THC, so it won’t get you high or have any unwanted psychoactive effects.

Marijuana

If you don’t mind the effects of THC, and you’re located in a state where cannabis is legal, you may choose to make your homemade CBD tincture from marijuana. We recommend a high-CBD, low-THC strain of marijuana, such as Ringo’s Gift, Harlequin, or ACDC. This will limit the effect of the THC, and maximize the effect of CBD, while taking advantage of the ‘entourage effect’, which describes the synergistic relationship between these two cannabinoids.

Solvents

The next ingredient you’ll need is your solvent. As we discussed earlier, the solvent is the liquid component of your tincture, and is what the CBD is extracted into.

You can choose between alcohol, vegetable oil, or glycerin as your solvent.

Alcohol

For alcohol-based tinctures, you’ll need a high-proof alcohol that is 60-70% ethyl alcohol or ethanol. Everclear is a recommended source because of its high alcohol content, as is 151 Rum. You want to make sure that you are using food-safe alcohol that is not denatured.

Vegetable Oil

Vegetable oil is probably the easiest solvent to source, as well as the most cost-effective. A wide range of vegetable oils can be purchased from the grocery store—in fact, you may already have the perfect vegetable oil in your pantry, ready to be made into a CBD tincture.

Not all vegetable oils are made equal when it comes to tinctures. Here’s what we recommend:

• Liquid Coconut Oil: Cannabinoids rely on fatty acids as a binding agent, and since coconut oil is rich in fatty acids, it’s an ideal oil for your homemade CBD tincture. For tinctures, it is necessary to purchase liquid coconut oil, as coconut oil becomes solid at room temperature.
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Olive oil is regarded worldwide as a healthy oil, rich in antioxidants and oleic acid. An added benefit of olive oil is that it is efficient in preserving terpenes from the cannabis plant, providing a whole-plant extract.
• Sunflower Oil: Sunflower oil is an affordable option, with a milder flavor than coconut and olive oil. Sunflower Oil is well suited to percolation, as it has good thermal stability. Additionally, sunflower oil is high in lecithin, which helps to increase the shelf life of your tincture.

Glycerin

It’s important to note that not all glycerin is appropriate for human consumption. For a glycerin-based CBD tincture, be sure to purchase food-grade vegetable glycerin from a trusted, sustainable source.

Tools and supplies for making CBD tinctures?

What makes it so easy to make CBD tinctures at home is the fact that the tools and supplies required are regular household items.

Here’s what you’ll need to make a tincture via the traditional maceration method:

• Mason jar
• Cheesecloth or coffee filters
• Glass bottle (amber or cobalt glass works best)
• Baking tray
• Parchment paper
• Timer

If you’re making your tincture using the percolator method, you’ll also need:

• Glass or metal bowl
• Saucepan
• Candy thermometer

How to decarboxylate your cannabis

Before you start infusing, you’ll need to decarb your cannabis. Don’t worry—this is a simple step that you can do in your kitchen.

Decarboxylation is the process of heating your cannabis at a specific temperature to activate the cannabinoids. In the case of CBD, decarboxylation (decarbing for short) transforms the inactive CBD-A cannabinoid of raw cannabis into active CBD.

1. Preheat your oven to 240°F.
2. With your fingers, break your cannabis into small chunks.
3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
4. Distribute the cannabis evenly onto the paper and place the tray into the oven.
5. Allow the cannabis to toast for 20 minutes. Gently move the cannabis around with a wooden spoon so that it heats evenly. Put back into the oven.
6. When the cannabis starts to look lightly toasted, it’s time to take it out of the oven. Hemp and high-CBD strains of marijuana generally take 60-90 minutes to decarb.
7. Remove from oven and leave to cool.
