CBD Milk Recipe
Step 1: The CBD flowers must be decarboxylated to activate all the cannabinoids and optimize the effects.
To do this, start by finely chopping the flowers by hand or using a grinder.
Step 2: Place the crumbled CBD flowers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then bake them for 40 minutes at 110 degrees.
Step 3: Now let’s move on to making CBD milk. Heat 1 liter of milk in a saucepan over low heat and add your decarboxylated CBD flowers. Let it steep over low heat for 1 hour, stirring regularly and being careful not to let the milk boil.
Step 4: Once the CBD has steeped thoroughly, simply strain it through a sieve. Your CBD milk is ready!

Step 7: Spread the puff pastry evenly in a baking pan, then bake it at 180° for 25 minutes. Let it cool.
Recipe for Making Pastry Cream
Step 8: In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar with the 2 egg yolks. Then, using a whisk, beat the mixture until it turns pale.
Step 9: Gradually add the flour to the mixing bowl and stir.
Step 10: Transfer the contents of the mixing bowl to a saucepan and stir in the CBD milk. Scrape the vanilla bean over the mixture. Whisk until it comes to a boil. Once the cream has thickened well, it’s ready.
Assembling the Strawberry and CBD Pie

Step 12: Wash and hull your strawberries, then cut them in half or into smaller pieces, depending on your preference, and arrange them attractively on top of the pastry cream to garnish your strawberry tart.
