Because of CBD’s healing powers, this cannabis- or hemp-extracted substance is becoming more and more popular. Thanks to the creativity of some people, you can now take this substance in different forms. And one of the best and easiest ways to take it is by including it in beverages like juices, sodas, as well as coffee and alcohol.
The Rise of CBD Beverages
Experts project the CBD beverage industry to become a billion-dollar market in the coming years. According to Zenith Global, a leading global consulting firm for food and drinks, CBD and hemp-infused drinks will surge to more than $1.4 billion by 2024. Because of the great potential for the industry, Coca-Cola, Heineken, and other big names in the beverage sector have publicly announced their interest.
But while cannabidiol-infused canned or bottled sodas and drinks are still not available in the market, you can now make your own blend of CBD beverages right in your own home. You can now search for cannabis drinks recipes online on various websites.
