Hop Ice Cream Cafe's CBD Oil Hemp Milk Ice Cream Shares Unique Benefits

— August 21, 2018 — Lifestyle
Earlier this summer as part of an evening wellness event, Hop Ice Cream Cafe debuted a CBD oil-infused ice cream that is available across its three locations.

When it comes to making the CBD Oil Hemp Milk Ice Cream, Hop Ice Cream co-owner Ashley Garrison describes that "We actually steep the hemp flower buds in the ice cream, and it does give it a little bit of the, like, dank hempy smell and flavor. But it’s really delicious."

While there are many CBD-infused edibles that have been created to share the anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory, pain-reducing properties of cannabidiol, the naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent of cannabis, mainstream businesses are now using this non-psychoactive ingredient from a health and well-being perspective.
