Hemp Tea

Created by soaking dried hemp leaves or toasted hemp seeds, hemp tea is another popular method of hemp as a food product. It has been found to help with insomnia, anxiety, stress, easing nausea, and decreasing inflammation. Hemp tea does contain CBD, but it is recommended to add a source of fat, such as milk, as CBD is hydrophobic which means it tends to repel water (1).
