This post will cover some of the steps, and tips, for making healthful, infused drinks.
What is a botanically-infused beverage?
An infused beverage can contain a whole list of botanical expressions and benefits. Herbally infused drinks can be a potent health tonic that can relieve a wide range of ailments.
Many recent studies have highlighted the beneficial role hemp botanicals play in supporting the human endocannabinoid system (ECS). While it’s true that science still has a lot to learn about this plant, history has taught us plenty enough to know of its value.
For example, research has found that limonene increases good cholesterol levels and lowers blood sugar levels. Limonene is a good example of how a single terpene can accomplish many goals. Limonene addresses a broad range of problems that can include anything from skin irritation, inflammation, and anxiety.
However, when creating in your own kitchen, infused oils can absorb several terpenes at once- and that’s to your advantage. With the right equipment, you’ll also have total control over all of your recipes, potency, and very importantly, your ingredients. This is really where LĒVO II shines!
Why Make Homemade Herb-Infused Drinks?
Making homemade infused drinks means you can easily adjust the botanical concentrations, sugar levels, sodium levels, and other ingredients to suit your health needs and taste.
There are no limits to the recipes to try, and you can swap out, omit, or increase ingredients and their proportions as you like, giving you full control. Especially when you have a home infuser like a LĒVO II machine.
When homemade edibles are a regular part of your diet, you make snacks and drinks that fit your lifestyle. Just imagine creating your own, high-quality and nutritious treats that you can enjoy on the go.
Grab-and-go drinks ensure a regular intake of healthful infusions. Consistent and moderate consumption optimizes the role of the hemp’s botanicals in regulating endocannabinoid functions.
As you gain more experience with preparing and consuming infused drinks, you will start to notice which concoctions and flavors give you your desired taste and results.
Why do I need to Decarboxylate my Flower for Infused Drinks?If you’re ready to prepare an infused oil, you’ll start by decarboxylating the raw flower you intend to use for your infusion.
The old way to decarb your flower was to heat the oven to about 240 degrees to warm your coarsely ground flower evenly on a cookie sheet for 25 to 30 minutes- agitating the tray halfway through to move the flower around.
You can also use a slow cooker if you have one available. One of the advantages of using a slow cooker is better to control plant odors produced during the decarbing.
Whether you choose to use a slow cooker or an oven, your house will smell- just make sure you don’t burn your flower!
Use Quick and Easy Infused Drink Recipes
Some popular drink recipes include coconut, citrus, and tropical fruit flavors. Adventurous foodies add mint, lavender, and spices such as cinnamon to their drink recipes.
Try a new combination every time you make your infused drinks and you’ll never get bored as you explore new flavor combinations.
You can alternate between making cold and hot beverages. Add infused MCT oil to your morning java to make your own variation of bulletproof coffee.
