A. Preparing the CBD-Infused Figgy Pudding Mixture

2. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, ground ginger, salt, orange zest, and lemon zest. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

5. Gently place the covered pudding basin into the steamer or onto the rack, ensuring that the water does not touch the bottom of the basin.
6. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the figgy pudding over medium-low heat for about 2 to 2.5 hours. It’s important to monitor the water level during steaming and add more hot water to the pot if needed to maintain a steady steam.

C. Adding the CBD Infusion

1. Once the figgy pudding is steamed and cooked, carefully remove the pudding basin from the steamer and set it on a heatproof surface.
2. Determine the desired dosage of CBD oil based on the instructions provided with your CBD product and your personal preferences.
3. Using a toothpick or the dropper provided with your CBD oil, carefully add the desired number of CBD oil drops to the top of the pudding. Aim to distribute the drops evenly across the surface.
4. Allow the CBD-infused figgy pudding to cool for a few minutes to allow the CBD oil to blend with the pudding.

IV. Tips and Variations

• CBD Dosage: It’s important to follow the dosage instructions provided with your CBD product and consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medication. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and desired effects.
• Additional Ingredients: Feel free to add extra ingredients to the figgy pudding, such as chopped candied ginger, grated apple, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and texture.
• Alcohol-Free Version: If you prefer an alcohol-free figgy pudding, you can substitute the brandy or rum in the recipe with apple juice or orange juice.

V. Serving and Storage
