– Double boiler or saucepan – Whisk or Spoon – Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer – Container for storage – Cannabis grinder or scissors – Oven or Stovetop
– 3 1/2 grams cannabis flower about 1/8 ounce – 3 tablespoons distilled water – 1 cup unsalted butter 8 ounces,
1. Decarboxylate the Cannabis: 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. 2. Melt the Butter: In a double boiler or saucepan, melt the butter over low to medium heat. Be careful not to burn the butter.
3. Add Cannabis to the Butter: Once the butter is melted, add the decarboxylated cannabis to the pot. Stir well to combine. 4. Strain the Mixture: 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.
5. Cool and Store: 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.
