Use a rubber spatula to fold in the meringue, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Keep folding until fully combined.Transfer your patter to a pastry bag (or a large zip-loc freezer bag) fitted with a 3/8-inch round tip.

Space your macarons 1-1½ inches apart.
Tap the baking sheets firmly on the counter 2-3 times to release any air bubbles.

CBD Macarons
Our CBD Matcha Macarons with Highbiscus Buttercream were such a hit, we headed back into the kitchen to whip up a new favorite, based on our turmeric-honey Moon Milk (also called Golden Milk). Our cookies aren’t just delicious – these macarons also pack a punch of CBD from our Brothers Wild Rosin CBD Honey. A perfect before-bed snack. Go ahead – try to eat just one!*
Delicious & Totally Gluten-Free
Traditional French macarons have a crispy shell with a chewy center. Macarons are made with almond flour, which gives them their distinctive nutty flavor and texture. This also means that macarons are naturally gluten-free, making them an excellent sweet treat for those with celiac or gluten intolerance. The rich turmeric flavor of Golden Milk perfectly compliments the nutty almond flour base and lends a gorgeous golden color to the batter. The CBD comes from our full spectrum, terpene-rich Wild Rosin CBD Honey, which we turned into a simple syrup to flavor the buttercream filling.*
Wild Rosin CBD Honey Simple Syrup
To make our Wild Rosin CBD Honey Simple Syrup you’ll need one cup of water and 1 cup Wild Rosin CBD Honey. Heat the water in a saucepan on the stove. Once the water is just boiling, remove it from the heat and stir in the Wild Rosin Honey until completely dissolved. Easy peasy.
