Canna-butter in Edibles

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 cup of ground cannabis flower (decarboxylated)
  • Water

Instructions:

  1. Decarboxylate your cannabis flower by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking it in the oven at 240°F (115°C) for about 40-45 minutes. This step is important to activate the THC in the cannabis and ensure its potency in the final product.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the butter and water in a 1:1 ratio, for example, 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of water. The water helps to prevent the butter from burning during the cooking process.
  3. Heat the saucepan over low heat, and once the butter has melted, add the decarboxylated cannabis flower to the mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. Simmer the mixture on low heat for about 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. The longer you simmer, the more THC will be extracted into the butter, but be careful not to overheat or burn the mixture.
  5. After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  6. Strain the canna-butter mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a container, separating the liquid canna-butter from the plant material. Squeeze out as much butter as possible from the plant material.
  7. Discard the strained plant material and let the canna-butter cool to room temperature.
  8. Once cooled, you can use the canna-butter as a substitute for regular butter in your favorite recipes to make cannabis-infused edibles.

Note: The potency of the canna-butter depends on the strength of the cannabis flower used and the duration of decarboxylation and simmering. It’s important to start with a small amount of canna-butter in your recipes and to be mindful of the dosage to avoid overconsumption.

Also, be sure to store the canna-butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and potency. Label the container clearly to indicate that it contains cannabis-infused butter to prevent accidental consumption by others. Keep in mind that homemade edibles can be potent and their effects may take longer to kick in compared to other methods of cannabis consumption, so start with a low dosage and wait for the effects to fully manifest before consuming more.
