Whether it’s making delicious, refreshing drinks or hosting a tea party to foster connections, integrating these practices into your summer routine can create a sense of tranquility during times of chaos. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make iced tea infused with CBD and introduce some yummy mocktail recipes to keep you cool all summer long without jeopardizing your wellness!
How to Make Iced Tea Infused with CBD
One of the best things about tea is its versatility. While it’s traditionally served hot, there’s no reason you can’t mix things up and use your favorite blends to cool down during the summer. Learning how to make iced tea is easy, delicious and perfect for a hot summer day.
To get started, you’ll need:
- Steeping Ball
- Carry Kumba Loose Leaf CBD Tea
- Water
- Ice
- Honey or Agave (optional)
How to make iced tea:
-
Brew the tea: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil—you can use more if you’re making a large batch! Remove from heat and add the loose-leaf CBD tea to the steeping balls. Let steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
-
Sweeten: If you prefer your iced tea sweet, and are looking for some extra relaxation, add Carry Kumba’s CBD Honey or Agave while the tea is still hot and stir until fully dissolved.
-
Cool the tea: Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Serve: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over the ice. Enjoy your refreshing and calming iced CBD tea!

Add a Twist to Your Tea with CBD Ice Cubes
If you want to take your iced tea to the next level, try making CBD tea ice cubes. These little gems not only keep your drink cold without diluting the flavor but also add an extra boost of wellness. Brew a pot of your favorite Carry Kumba tea, let it cool, and pour it into an ice cube tray to freeze. It usually takes about four hours to make ice cubes, but for best results, leave them overnight. Pop these cubes into any drink, and as they melt, they’ll infuse it with more flavor and CBD goodness. For a little extra sweetness, be sure to drizzle some honey into the ice cubes before freezing!
Fun and wellness-focused CBD Mocktails
Let’s talk mocktails. These non-alcoholic drinks are a fantastic way to enjoy a flavorful drink while keeping it healthy and wellness-focused. Using Carry Kumba’s CBD teas, honey and agave, you can whip up some delicious mocktails that are perfect for summer gatherings or just a relaxing evening at home.
