In this post, we'll explore how to incorporate CBD into your holiday recipes, featuring a special drink that's perfect for winter evenings: our CBD-Infused Cinnamon Vanilla Eggnog.
Why Include CBD in Your Holiday Recipes?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is known for its potential to promote relaxation and stress relief — something we all could use more of during the hectic holiday season. When added to food and drinks, CBD can help create a sense of calm and well-being, making your holiday gatherings even more enjoyable.
CBD-Infused Cinnamon Vanilla Eggnog
Let's start with a classic holiday favorite — eggnog. We've given it a twist, not just for an extra flavor, but for an extra feeling of tranquility and cheer. Here’s how you can make this festive and soothing drink:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of whole milk
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 vanilla bean pod (split and seeds scraped)

Instructions:
- Combine milk, cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg in a saucepan and bring to a low simmer.

- Cook the mixture on low heat until thick, then cool slightly and add CBD tincture.
- Beat egg whites to soft peaks and fold into the mix.
- Chill, serve garnished with whipped cream, and enjoy!
Tips for Cooking with CBD
- Start Small: If you’re new to cooking with CBD, start with smaller doses and adjust according to preference.
- Don’t Overheat: High temperatures can diminish the effectiveness of CBD. Add it at the end of your cooking process.
- Quality Matters: Use high-quality, lab-tested CBD products like those from Rainer Wellness for the best results.

Beyond eggnog, consider adding CBD to other holiday dishes. Some ideas include:
- Drizzling CBD oil over roasted vegetables.
- Adding a few drops to your holiday cookies or brownies.
- Infusing CBD into your homemade salad dressings.
