Continuing in the same vein as our previous article: CBD (cannabidiol) drinks, why and how to prepare them? Today we offer you several recipes for CBD Iced Tea to make at home!
Ideal for a dose of CBD, and to stay hydrated during these repeated heat waves.
CBD Lemon Iced Tea
Preparation time: 5 minutes | Cooking time: 20 minutes | Cooling time: 1 hour 30 minutes | Servings: 6 large glasses
Ingredients of CBD Lemon Iced Tea:
- 8 to 9 cups of water

- 4-5 lemon tea bags
- 2 to 4 tablespoons of caster sugar (depending on the desired level of sweetness)
- ½ teaspoon of lemon zest
- 3 ripe lemons.
Preparation :
- Use the 6 grams of cannabidiol and mix them in a grinder so that you can separate them until they reach a fine powder consistency.

- Place a saucepan on the stove and add 8 cups of water before setting to medium heat.
