Are you one of the billion people around the world who drink coffee everyday? In the United States, over 400 million cups of coffee are consumed on any given day, and amongst those 400 million cups, people are increasingly adding hemp and cannabis oils to their caffeinated beverages. If you are interested in infusing your coffee with THC or CBD, you have come to the right place! In this article, we will be discussing how to properly infuse your coffee with THC and CBD, and the benefits behind coffee being mixed with THC and CBD.
Why do People Infuse Their Coffee with THC and CBD?
If you are an avid coffee consumer, you may be familiar with the euphoria, uplifting energy, and increased productivity associated with the drink. At first, it may be confusing to think people would mix coffee with something that may give you paranoia, anxiety, and the infamous couch lock. Even though this may be the case, people who mix coffee with hemp and cannabis products report the opposite!
Research has shown that coffee and cannabis both affect similar parts of the brain. Additionally, several people have reported that by combining coffee and cannabis, primarily caffeine and CBD and/or THC, they can prolong the effects of both and have experienced longer periods of pain relief and euphoria. This isn’t to say that combining coffee and cannabis is for everyone. However, if you are interested in giving it a try, or are looking to improve your infusion recipe, read on!
How to Properly Infuse THC and CBD in Your Coffee
Traditionally, infusing food and beverages with cannabis plants required an extraction of the THC or CBD concentrates into canna butter. This method is very effective in infusing cannabis into coffee, however, it does not effectively remove all of plant matter from the mixture, and may drastically alter the taste of your coffee.
At Mints, we believe the best way to infuse your coffee with hemp cannabis THC or CBD is through an MCT oil mixture. By infusing your coffee with our Delta 8 THC Oil and CBD Oil, both made with organic MCT (coconut) oil, you are going to get the same benefits as mixing canna butter into your coffee, but without the plant-y taste!
Why MCT Oil?
To create our hemp THC and CBD oils, we need something with a lot of fats. Many people use butter to create canna butter for this exact reason. Butter is high in fat, and is able to trap the THC and CBD molecules from the plant. Instead of butter, we use MCT oil to mix our THC and CBD. The reason why we use MCT is because it is flavorless, and a healthier alternative to butter.
Coffee and MCT Oil
Aside from mixing THC and CBD into coffee, many people already mix their coffee with MCT oil. That is because MCT oil is proven to provide tons of health benefits, including but not limited to weight loss, cognitive function, fighting bacteria, and improve insulin within the body. Because of all of these benefits, it is understandable as to why people add it as a supplement to their coffee. It is also the reason as to why we use MCT oil as the base for our Delta 8 THC and CBD oils. By combining coffee, MCT oil, and THC and CBD, you are creating the best cannabis infused coffee with zero compromise on taste!
Not only can you infuse your coffee with our Delta-8 THC and CBD oils, you can also infuse any food you want! All you need to do is drop your usual dosage into anything you are going to eat or drink. Now, you do not have to go through the hassle of creating your own canna butter, and instead drip our oil onto your delicious food and drinks. Alternatively, you can even take the oil directly by placing a few drops under your tongue.
