5 Springtime Baking Recipes You Can Try with the Help of NAM Wellness CBD Hemp Flower

by Nicholas McLaughlin

Spring is a time of renewal, fresh starts, and vibrant flavors. As the weather warms and nature awakens, it’s the perfect opportunity to bring that freshness into your kitchen. Imagine infusing your favorite baked goods with the subtle notes of NAM Wellness CBD hemp flower, enhancing your springtime treats with a unique twist.

Hemp flower, with its rich profile of CBD, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds, can be incorporated into your baking through the creation of a CBD-infused butter. While traditional consumption methods like smoking and vaping are popular, baking offers a delightful alternative. And what better way to celebrate the season than with homemade edibles that capture the essence of spring?

Making the CBD Butter

Initially, you need to create a CBD-infused butter that can be used as the fat in your recipe, as hemp flower on its own is not fat-soluble. Once you make a batch, it can last for about 6 months in the fridge.

All you need to do is preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread two cups of NAM Wellness loose hemp flower buds (choose your preferred strain) on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes to activate the cannabinoids. Then, once that’s onde, coarsely grind the decarboxylated buds and place them in a saucepan with one cup of water and two sticks of unsalted butter. Simmer on low heat for 2.5 hours, ensuring the mixture doesn’t boil. Finally, just pour the butter through a fine-mesh strainer into a jar, pressing the solids to extract all the infused butter. Don’t forget to refrigerate the jar until the butter solidifies.
