The history of cooking with cannabis dates as far back as the 10th century India, where people have been using a mixture of ground cannabis flowers and milk (Bhang) for spiritual purposes. Similar recipes were discovered in Italy from the renaissance period, but it wasn't until the second half of the 20th century that the popularity of cooking with the herb exploded, with all these magic brownies, lollipops, chocolate bars, salad dressings and other exotic recipes.
Cannabis is a food-friendly herb that can spice up your cooking experience and add a plethora of health benefits to your nutrition regime, so it's no wonder why people have adopted this activity with so much enthusiasm. If you're going through a particularly stressful time or suffer from anxiety, you might want to consider giving CBD oil a try. There's a growing body of evidence demonstrating CBD's usefulness for treating anxiety-related disorders. The popular cannabinoid has been making the rounds as of late, not just in wellness and beauty products, but also in cafés where CBD recipes are popping up on menus. The chill-inducing ingredient can be found infused into honey, bliss balls, chocolate bars, caramels and other treats.
However, cooking and making cocktails with CBD oil is a relatively new phenomenon. We've prepared a list of our favorite CBD-infused recipes, both savory and sweet.

Making CBD-infused recipes at home is a fun and very rewarding way to deliver precious cannabinoids into your system. If you need your CBD to release at a slower pace than when you vape it or use it sublingually — and keep you ailment-free for the whole day — CBD edibles are the way to go. Contrary to marijuana edibles, CBD infusions won't make you high as their THC content is below 0.3% — the amount that's insufficient to produce ANY psychoactive effect, let alone the strong high associated with marijuana.
The CBD latte is the latest craze. You can try something as easy as adding a few drops of CBD oil or CBD tincture to your morning coffee or you can go the extra mile with these delicious recipes, that look and feel straight up like the definition of hygge:
