Golden leaves falling, a cool breeze blowing, and the smell of pumpkin spice filling the air. Autumn is upon us, and we’re all bringing out our cozy blankets and chilling by the fire.

And what’s the best fireside refreshment? A cup of warm beverage, laced with CBD oil will help you relax and wind down from the grind and hustle of the day. 

Here are five CBD-infused drink recipes that will make your autumn days better.
