The leaves are changing, the air is growing cooler, and fall coffee drinks are back! This year, elevate your autumn with these 6 CBD-infused fall coffee drink recipes that are perfect for a cool morning on the patio or a me-moment by the fireplace!
At-Home Coffee Drink Basics
Are you a first-time at-home barista?
Here’s what you need to know before making your first fall coffee recipe!
Can I make espresso without a dedicated machine?
Yes! There are widely available budget-friendly alternatives to a traditional espresso machine, such as an AeroPress, Moka Pot, or French press.
Can I make an espresso-based drink, like a latte, without using espresso?
You can achieve the taste of a latte-style drink with regular brewed coffee. Simply make your desired amount of coffee. Then, use steamed milk and syrups to replace your coffee creamer.
Can I replace milk with an alternative?
Yes. Feel free to use your preferred dairy-free alternative in place of dairy milk. Oat milk, coconut milk, almond milk, and soy milk all steam up nicely and taste great over ice, too.
How do I froth milk without a steamer?
You can easily replicate a latte texture at home without a steamer. Popular methods include the mason jar method, a battery-operated frothing wand, french press, or vigorous whisking. And a blender also works in a pinch, too! No matter which technique you choose, heat your milk to about 140-145 degrees beforehand. Then, texturize until it reaches the consistency of melted ice cream.

Enjoy the Flavors of Fall with Green Roads CBD Coffee
Green Roads’ Hemp Flower Coffee makes it easy to incorporate CBD into your morning routine. It tastes great black or mixed up with one of our delicious fall-inspired recipes! Still have questions? We’ve got you covered.
What is Hemp Flower Coffee?
And no, a quick chug before you head out the door won’t do the trick. For best results, you’ll need to give your body ample time to hydrate. Start increasing your water intake 48 to 24 hours before you take your workout outside.
How is Hemp Flower Coffee Made?
Our beans are grown on the lush landscape of a Colombian ridge in a protected sliver of paradise. When the beans are perfectly ripened, they’re harvested under the full moon because that’s when the nectar surrounding them is at its sweetest.
Once the beans have been harvested, American-grown hemp is added. Our closely guarded process results in a smooth blend — rich with beneficial cannabinoids. Like every Green Roads product, each batch is then tested by an independent lab to ensure both the quality and taste live up to our rigorous standards. Then, the beans are carefully packaged to ensure each cup you brew is fresh and delicious.
Why Drink Hemp Flower Coffee?
CBD is taken by many to support overall health or to target a specific wellness aspect. Hemp Flower Coffee combines the delicious flavor of coffee with the soothing properties of cannabinoids, like CBD. Hemp Flower Coffee is an easy way to support your wellness goals without having to alter your routine — and it tastes delicious, too!
Make the most of the season by starting your day with a cup of CBD coffee!
