Cannabutter Recipe
Equipment
- Double boiler or saucepan
- Whisk or Spoon
- Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
- Container for storage
- Cannabis grinder or scissors
- Oven or Stovetop
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 grams cannabis flower about 1/8 ounce
- 3 tablespoons distilled water
- 1 cup unsalted butter 8 ounces preferably organic and grass-fed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Grind your cannabis into small pieces and spread it evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, to activate the THC.
- In a double boiler or saucepan, melt the butter over low to medium heat. Be careful not to burn the butter.
- Once the butter is melted, add the decarboxylated cannabis to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- After simmering, remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. Place a piece of cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer over a clean container. Pour the mixture through the cheesecloth/strainer to strain out the plant material, squeezing gently to extract all the butter.
- Allow the cannabutter to cool to room temperature before sealing it in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to a month or freeze for longer storage.
