Cannabutter Recipe

Sure! Here’s a basic recipe for making cannabutter, which is a cannabis-infused butter commonly used in cooking and baking with https://gas-dank.com/product-category/cbd/:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup ground cannabis flower (decarboxylated)
• Water (enough to cover the cannabis during simmering)

Instructions:

1. Decarboxylation: Before making cannabutter, it’s essential to decarboxylate your cannabis to activate its compounds. Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Break up your cannabis flower into smaller pieces and spread it evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the cannabis in the preheated oven for approximately 40-60 minutes, or until it turns light golden brown. This process converts the non-psychoactive THCA compound into THC, which provides the desired effects when consumed.
2. Butter Infusion: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter and water. Heat the mixture on low heat until the butter is melted. Adding water helps to prevent scorching during the simmering process.
3. Add Ground Cannabis: Once the butter has melted, add the ground decarboxylated cannabis to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure that the cannabis is fully coated with the butter.
4. Simmer: Maintain the mixture over low heat and let it simmer for about 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. The low heat allows the cannabinoids and other compounds to infuse into the butter. Be careful not to let the mixture come to a boil, as it can affect the potency and taste of the final product.
5. Strain: After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Place a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer over a heatproof container or bowl. Carefully pour the mixture through the strainer to strain out the plant material. Press on the solids with a spoon or spatula to extract as much infused butter as possible.
6. Cooling and Storage: Allow the strained cannabutter to cool at room temperature until it solidifies. Once solid, cover the container and transfer it to the refrigerator. The cannabutter can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks or in the freezer for several months. Remember to label it appropriately and keep it out of reach of children or pets.

Now you have homemade cannabutter ready to use in various recipes. When cooking or baking with cannabutter, be mindful of the dosage and start with smaller amounts, gradually increasing as needed based on your personal tolerance and experience. Enjoy responsibly!
