Fall in the Berkshires brings to mind crisp air, vibrant foliage, and the perfect excuse to curl up with a warm, comforting drink. Tea is a go-to of ours here at The Pass. Whether it’s black tea, earl grey, or raspberry tea, there are so many herbal teas that make for a perfect base if you’re looking for something that pairs beautifully with the flavors of the season. 

That’s why this Autumn Raspberry Tea with cannabis is a great drink recipe for the fall. Whether you’re savoring it alone on a cozy morning or sharing with friends on a chilly evening, this tea hits all the right notes. 

For this recipe, we’re spotlighting a new favorite brand of ours: Green Revolution. Green Revolution is a trusted cannabis brand found at licensed retailers across the country, including WA, NY, CA, and MA, with CBD products legally available in all 50 states for adults 18+. They are known for rigorous quality control, extensive product testing, and third-party audits and certifications, including the prestigious “Clean Green” certification.

Green Revolution’s cannabis shots are a star in this Autumn Raspberry Infused Tea. Easy to make for a single serving or scaled up for a big batch, it captures everything you love about fall in New England: warming spices, bright berries, and a hint of cannabis that never hurts.

 

How to Make the Best Cannabis Tea

When it comes to crafting the perfect cannabis tea, ingredient quality makes all the difference. Start with a rich black tea of your choice as the base. Some great tea brands to use in your fall cannabis drinks include Twinings, Bigelow, Celestial Seasonings, Tazo, or whatever you find in your local grocery store for rich flavor and consistent brewing. 

Then, layer in the comforting flavors of fall: a cinnamon stick, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a twist of orange peel. With these ingredients, you’ll get a cozy hybrid between berry tea and mulled cider, sweet, slightly tart, and deeply soothing. Now, you could stop here, but of course, the best part is infusing your tea with cannabis! 

If you’re having it hot, you’ll want to add your cannabis infusion last so the boiling water doesn’t damage any of the cannabinoids in the product. For this fall drink recipe, we’re using Green Revolution’s Raspberry Drink Shot. This fast-acting shot contains 100mg THC and 5mg CBG in a bold, flavorful 2oz shot. Bursting with real raspberry flavor, this vegan-friendly formula delivers clean, focused energy designed for creativity, clarity, and productivity. 

This combination of THC, CBG, and other cannabinoids and terpenes works together to enhance and balance the overall effects, a synergy known as the entourage effect. Green Revolution’s formulations help deliver a more focused, uplifting, and enjoyable experience compared to isolated cannabinoids alone.

If you’re planning on having this raspberry tea iced, you can add the Green Revolution shot as soon as you add ice to the brewed tea. Either way, each sip will taste like comfort in a cup, ideal for winding down after a chilly New England day.

If you’re more experienced with cannabis, you can enjoy the full 2 oz shot, but keep in mind that 100mg can be a high dose for some. Beginners should follow the serving size indicator on the side of the bottle, and our budtenders at The Pass in the Berkshires are always happy to help with guidance or mixology tips.

For the best fall cannabis drink recipes, getting high-quality products from The Pass in the Berkshires ensures your recipe stands out, whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying a cozy moment alone.

Beyond Green Revolution’s cannabis shots, we offer a wide variety of products perfect for cooking and infusing, including tinctures, flower for infused butters, ready-made cannabis drinks, and more. With these options, you can experiment freely and create fall beverages that are as unique and flavorful as the season itself.

 

Substitutes for this Fall Cannabis Drink Recipe

Recipes are no fun if they’re a hard science. Cannabis teas are great for customizing and making your own! Tailoring your cannabis tea lets you personalize the flavor, sweetness, and strength to your preferences. It also allows you to experiment with seasonal ingredients or dietary needs, making each cup uniquely enjoyable.

Here are some ideas for adding your own twist to this fall cannabis drink recipe:

• Try green tea for a lighter, earthy flavor or hibiscus tea for a deeper berry punch.
• Substitute the orange peel with lime or lemon zest for a brighter, tangy finish.
• Add a handful of frozen raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries for extra color and natural sweetness.
• Chill your tea and top it with sparkling water or club soda for a refreshing spritz version.
• Use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey for a different fall-inspired sweetness.
• Add a clove or star anise pod while steeping for more of that mulled-cider warmth.
• Mix in a splash of apple cider or pear for a cozy, orchard-inspired twist.
• Stir in a bit of oat or almond milk for a creamy, comforting texture.
