CBD Lavender Latte Recipe

Before you make any hot CBD drink at home, its important to know that research shows traditional CBD oil can lose efficacy in hot, acidic environments (like coffee). That means most CBD oil molecules will lose their form before your body even has a chance to absorb it. 

Thats why MixMe uses nanotechnology that encapsulates CBD molecules to make them water soluble and protect them from losing their efficacy. Research also shows that this process of making CBD water soluble can increase absorption by up to 800% which means faster acting, more effective relief. Learn more here.

• 2 tablespoons of lavender simple syrup (instructions above)
• 1 ½ cups of milk or dairy alternative (oat milk, almond milk, cocnut milk, etc)

Pro Tips: don’t just use any kind of CBD when making home-made CBD drinks. Not only does regular CBD oil float in drinks, most of the molecules will lose effectiveness when they come in contact with hot or acidic drinks. MixMe nanotechnology makes CBD safe for any drink by making it water soluble, clear, pH resistant, and temperature resistant.
