Introduction
Cannabis butter, or cannabutter, is butter that has been melted and mixed with extracted thc glands from cannabis plants. Marijuana butter is an essential ingredient in many weed-infused recipes.
Cannabis butter is a primary ingredient in many edibles, and it can be used in place of regular butter in any recipe. Making cannabutter is relatively simple, but there are a few key things to keep in mind in order to end up with a strong and potent finished product.
The ratio of butter to cannabis will vary depending on the potency of your starting material. A general rule of thumb is 1/2 ounce of weed to 1/2 pound (two sticks) of unsalted butter. This ratio will produce a batch of cannabutter with a moderate THC content. If you’re using lower-quality weed or looking for a milder finished product, you can use as little as 1/4 ounce of weed to 1/2 pound of butter. Conversely, if you’re using top-shelf bud or looking for maximum potency, you can use up to an ounce of weed per 1/2 pound of butter.
Cannabis-infused butter (or “cannabutter”) is one of the easiest ways to make potent cannabis edibles. Cannabutter can be used in any recipe that calls for regular butter, allowing you to infuse almost anything you want with marijuana.
What You Need
-1 pound butter
-1 ounce ground cannabis- decarboxylated*
-Cheesecloth
-Slow cooker/crock pot
Directions:
1. Add the butter and ground, decarboxylated cannabis to the slow cooker/crock pot. Be sure to stir thoroughly so that the cannabis is fully mixed in with the butter.
2. Set the slow cooker/crock pot to low heat and let it cook for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
3. After 6-8 hours, turn off the slow cooker/crock pot and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Pour the butter mixture into the colander, allowing it to strain into the bowl below. discard the solids that are left in the colander.
4. Pour the strained butter into an airtight container and store it in the fridge or freezer until ready to use.
The Process
Cannabis butter, or cannabutter, is butter that has been melted and mixed with extracted thc glands from cannabis plant trimmings or from the whole plant. Cannabutter can be used in any recipe that calls for regular butter. One ounce of good weed yields about three tablespoons of cannabutter.
Here is a step by step guide on how to make cannabutter:
1. Decarboxylate your weed. This is an important step because it activates the THC in the weed so that it will be psychoactive. To do this, spread your weed on an oven-safe tray and bake it at 240 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
3. Add the decarboxylated weed to the melted butter and mix well.
4. Turn up the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
5. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and pour the mixture through it into a bowl, making sure to squeeze out all of the butter.
6. Let the cannabutter cool, then refrigerate it until it hardens.
Storage
You can store your cannabis butter in the fridge for up to 2 months or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Be sure to keep it in an airtight, food-safe container so that it doesn’t pick up any other flavors or smells from your fridge or freezer.
