Edibles such as baked cookies are useful because of their long-lasting effects which makes taking your medicine a tastier task.

BAKING WITH TINCTURES

CBD tinctures are concentrated forms of CBD oil, so a little goes a long way. Baking, if done incorrectly, can disrupt CBD's potency. A few important things to keep in mind are temperature, serving size, and storage.

• Temperature - The boiling point for CBD is 320°-356°F. Anything higher will cause a risk of evaporating some of the CBD and reducing its potency.
• Serving Size - Keeping the serving size in mind when baking is imperative. For example, if you use 100 mg of CBD to make a batch of brownies that serves 24 people, each brownie will only have 4 mg of CBD in it, which is fine, but if you need 50 mg, then you will have to eat a lot more brownies.
• Storage - CBD is sensitive to light and heat, so correctly storing baked goods is vital. Your baked goods will do best in a cool, dark place.

HOW TO BAKE WITH TINCTURES

The first thing you need to do is pick a recipe that has a higher fat content. CBD is fat soluble and needs fat to work, so cooking with oil or butter is a must. You then mix the fatty ingredient with the CBD and stir them together. Keep in mind if the fatty ingredient needs to be hot, make sure it does not reach the CBD's boiling point, so you might have to compensate by cooking it longer. Now for some yummy recipes!
