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.

  • 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.

Notes

Dosage Control: Pay attention to how strong your cannabis is and figure out how much THC is in each dose to avoid overdosing. If you’re new to edibles, start with a small amount of cannabis and slowly raise the dose as needed.
Grinding Cannabis: Make sure your cannabis is ground up evenly to get regular decarboxylation and infusion. It works best when it’s coarsely ground for decarboxylation, but you can make it easier by grinding it more finely.
Decarboxylation Temperature: Pay close attention to the decarboxylation process. To keep an accurate eye on the temperature, use an oven thermometer. To keep the cannabis from burning or breaking down, don’t heat it above 240°F (115°C).
