We all know that winter brings beautiful snow, Christmas vacation, ice skating, hot cocoa, all the sweets and lots of family and snuggle time. BUT, winter also brings that rough, dry, crackly not so nice feeling skin that gets caught in your bed sheets like…and inadverantly creates an anti cuddling campaign. Okay getting off track.

Body scrubs are amazing, to say the least, but when you pair it with CBD it creates an even more magically delicious potion. Use it on the daily to rejuvenate and bring that moisturizing feeling back! Now go and get the ingredients and make. this. scrub!

We will be here just patiently waiting for summer like…

1/2 gram CBD Isolate (why yes, we do sell this)

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup raw honey

1 cup brown sugar

—–directions—–

Combine CBD Isolate with olive oil. You’ll only be using 1/4 cup of the infused oil in this recipe. You can use the rest on salad or pasta, or apply directly to your skin for an easy body oil.

Then combine 1/4 cup of the infused oil with the honey. Mix in brown sugar to your desired consistency (use more of less depending on how grainy or loose you like your scrub.) Add your choice of zest and BAM, that’s it! Now go lather yourself in this deliciousness and see how this transforms your skin into butta.

Start to finish: 20 minutes

Yields: 4 cakes

Approximate dosage: 5mg per cake*

—Recipe adapted from Brett Konen of Leafly—

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the ramekins

1 cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped

2 full eggs plus 2 egg yolks

1/2 cup granulated sugar

20 mg of Sugar & Kush Vanilla CBD Tincture Oil (sold here, of course)

2 teaspoons flour, plus more for dusting the ramekins

Directions

Preheat your oven to 450˚F. Place the butter in a bowl and microwave to melt. Add the chocolate to the hot butter and stir until the chocolate melts.In a medium bowl, combine the two eggs, two additional yolks, sugar, and your CBD tincture and beat until light and thick, about one minute. Add the egg mixture and the flour to the melted chocolate and beat until fully incorporated.

Butter and lightly flour four 4-ounce molds or ramekins (make sure not to miss any spots, or the cakes will stick). Tap out the excess flour. Divide the batter among the molds. (At this point you can refrigerate them for up to three hours if you’d like; just bring them back to room temperature before baking.)

Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the cakes have puffed up a bit, the tops are barely set, about 7–9 minutes. The cakes should still jiggle slightly when shaken. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for one more minute. Put a plate on top of the ramekin and (using a potholder to protect your hand) carefully invert the cake onto the plate. Let it sit for 10 seconds, then lift up the ramekin. Enjoy immediately!

Have the most chill, relaxed Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day or whatever Day you want with these infused cookies.

And heart shaped too…ugh…just put cupid’s bow through our hearts already!

We hope you enjoy making these love day yummies and remember, you don’t have to share 😉

Watching and being a part of history right now is just unreal. Our world is in shambles and I don’t know about you but so is my anxiety. I personally have been taking CBD oil every. single. day. for the past 9 months and it has done WONDERS for me! BUT I had to recently up my dose to more mg because, you know, Rona fears.

Now, let’s dive into some brain power…

Did you know that we all have an Endocannabinoid System in our bodies? Endocannabinoids, also called endogenous cannabinoids, are molecules made by your body. They’re similar to cannabinoids, but they’re produced by YOUR body. Yes, you read that right, we produce cannabinoids in our own bodies!

————> SO that is why cannabis and its properties are soooo good for you. <—————

Now, every body chemistry is different, so no EC system is the same. This is why some people will get different effects from either cannabis or CBD. One CBD product will work amazingly for one person but another person might not get the same effects. This is why we cannot stress enough that all CBD products are NOT created equal and it is important to talk to your CBD dealers here at the Honey Pot so we can try to find the one that is best for YOU and your needs!

So now that you know a little about this system let’s dive into the different receptors that your EC molecules will attach to.

CB1 – receives THC molecules; these receptors are concentrated in the brain, central nervous system, and scattered throughout other bodily tissue. They mediate many of the psychoactive effects associated with cannabis.

CB2 – receives CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC molecules; these receptors are found in peripheral organs and cells associated with the immune system throughout the body. The highest concentration of these receptors is in the gut.

Your gut is central to your nervous system. The nerves in your gut communicate with the brain in your central nervous system, relaying the health of the gut and immune system. This nervous system can also produce neurochemicals, like dopamine and serotonin, which can impact mood and mental health!

So, CBD can help your stress and anxiety levels because the CBD receptors are primarily found in your gut and your gut literally communicates with your brain. So when CBD is taken, the molecules adhere to your CB2 receptors and kicks cortisol (bad stress hormone) to the curb and dopamine (happy hormone) and serotonin (happy chemical) are naturally produced!

Now lets all get that CBD oil and chug the heck out of it.

(well not really, you would literally sleep for dayyz)

It’s the PERFECT treat for Cinco de Mayo…and since the rona is around, and we got time…why not experiment!

These are something out of a dream, I mean-soft pillowy dough fried to perfection, coated in cinnamon sugar and then dipped in a CBD infused VANILLA CARAMEL SAUCE…..yaaaasssss

Make these

You know you want to

Yes you

We’re talking to you.

Recipe adapted by THC Hemp Connoisseur

Churro Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 3 oz butter
• 1 Tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4.5 oz all purpose flour, sifted
• 4 eggs
• Bowl of cinnamon sugar

Directions:

In a medium sauce pot with a wide bottom, combine the water, butter, sugar, salt orange zest and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over a medium heat, whisking to combine. Using a rubber spatula, work the sifted flour into the water/butter mixture. Stir the mixture until a paste forms, then, lowering the heat, work the dough back and forth in the pan for a minute or two and cook the mixture, allowing some of the moisture to escape (which will help when it comes time to fry!). Take the warm mixture and put into the bowl of a small stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, and beat the mixture for a few minutes, giving the dough a chance to cool. Add the eggs one at a time, and place into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Chill for at least four hours and no more than two days.

In a pot or in a table top fryer, take a large volume of oil and heat it to 350° F. Take your chilled churro batter and with your dominant hand, begin to pipe the batter into the hot oil. With your other hand, using a pair of scissors, separate the churros at your desired length. For dipping I like them about two inches. After about 5-7 minutes, the dough should be puffed and crispy. Pull them out of the oil and immediately toss into cinnamon and sugar so that they are fully coated.

Salted Caramel Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 oz. butter
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• Sugar & Kush Vanilla Tincture 1 ML (33.33mg CBD)

Directions:

In a small sauce pot, place the sugar in the bottom of the pan and cook over medium low heat, slowly caramelizing the sugar until it is golden and full of lumps. If you like it darker then feel free to live dangerously. When the sugar reaches your desired color, add the butter, waiting for it to fully melt before stirring in the cream. Pour the caramel through a strainer into heat proof bowl. Let cool to between 90-100° F then whisk in Sugar & Kush Vanilla tincture 1 ML and enjoy!!
