Tips for Making the Perfect CBD Popsicles

Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect popsicles:

  • Use fresh ingredients with high quality: High-quality ingredients are a must when making your popsicles. This ensures that they don’t come out tasting or smelling funny. Let’s not put all this hard work into waste over a few rotten fruits.
  • Ensure that you measure your ingredients properly: You might be tempted to just add the ingredients in random amounts–don’t do it. The closer you are to the recommended quantities, the better your chances are of getting the perfect taste.
  • Remove all pulps and fiber: The presence of pulp and fiber in your popsicle might add unwanted texture to the final product. Ensure you strain well and at least twice with a fine net strainer to get all the unwanted fiber out.
  • Use tightly sealed popsicle molds: A common problem faced while making popsicles is spilling while freezing. This is often because of poor-quality molds that are badly sealed. Invest in high-quality popsicle molds. Trust me, it will be worth it.
  • Balance your flavors: Balancing flavors starts with careful measurements. It also means you should stay within a reasonable distance with ingredients while experimenting. CBD oil can also be especially potent. Add gently in a small amount till you reach your target flavor.
  • Take your time: A bit of patience is necessary when making popsicles. Don’t rush any of the process. Blend until you have a fine mix. Strain till you’ve removed all fiber. And most importantly, give the popsicles enough time to freeze. We recommend freezing the popsicles overnight. 

Tips for Serving CBD Popsicles

Making great CBD popsicles isn’t enough–the way you present them also matters a great deal. If you want to be cool at parties, you must let out your inner Da Vinci. We have a few tips to help you paint a Mona Lisa with CBD popsicles.

  • Fruits and Popsicles: This is a no-brainer. Serving slices of fruit alongside your popsicles gives it that Instagram appeal. Imagine a slice of lemon or orange served with tropical citrus CBD popsicles. The aesthetics just pop!
  • A martini for me, a cocktail for you: This is another fun way to serve popsicles. Spice your event up by serving the popsicles in martini or cocktail glasses. It comes off as classy.
  • What about a cocktail bar? Imagine your guests getting to request their special mix of CBD popsicle cocktails with different garnishes, toppings, or sides. Now that’s fun, isn’t it?

Health Benefits of CBD in Popsicles

CBD popsicles are packed with a lot of health benefits!

  • It is helpful against mild inflammatory conditions
  • It helps relieve stress and anxiety

Infusing CBD into everyday snacks like popsicles ensures that you get the best of both worlds. It is truly a medicinal relaxer.

Tips for Newbies

  • Read the product information: There’s always a guide that comes with CBD products. Read it well before using any product for homemade CBD-infused snacks.
