How to Make the CBD Mocktails

Step 1
Weigh out 2.5 grams of decarboxylated CBD-rich flower of your choice. Set aside.

Step 2
Combine the water, honey, cardamom and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Bring to a soft boil, stirring until the honey dissolves into the water.

Step 3
Reduce the heat to around 160°F to 180°F (71°C to 82°C) and add the decarboxylated cannabis.
Simmer on low for 50 minutes, stirring from time to time.

Step 4
Reduce the heat and add the vegetable glycerin. This will give the CBD (and/or THC) something to bind to. Continue to heat and stir for another 10 minutes.

Step 5
Remove from heat. Pour the infused simple syrup into a 16-ounce Mason jar through cheesecloth placed in a fine-mesh strainer. Let cool before serving.

Step 6
Fill two copper mugs with ice. Using a shaker tin, combine the apple cider and Cinnamon Cardamom CBD Simple Syrup.

Step 7
Shake vigorously for 10 seconds to mix the ingredients together.

Step 8
Pour half of the mixture evenly into each copper mug. Top with ginger beer until the mug is full.
Garnish with:

• Cinnamon sticks
• Apple slices
• Star of anise

Your hip and stylish CBD-infused V-day drink is ready to be served. Cheers!
