Refrigerate the container of butter until it has solidified.
Once solid, remove the butter from the container and discard any excess water.
Your cannabis-infused butter is now ready to use in your favorite recipes.
Step 1: Decarboxylation
This is the first step to making your perfect dish. Be as detailed as possible.
Decarboxylation: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Break apart your cannabis flower into smaller pieces and spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the cannabis in the preheated oven for about 40-60 minutes. This process activates the THC in the cannabis, making it more potent.
Step 2 : Infusion Preparation
Infusion Preparation: In a saucepan, combine the unsalted butter and water. Place the saucepan over low heat and let the butter melt completely.
Step 3 : Adding Cannabis:
Adding Cannabis: Once the butter is melted, add the decarboxylated cannabis to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure the cannabis is evenly distributed in the mixture.
Step 4 : Simmering
Simmering: Maintain the heat on low and let the cannabis-infused butter mixture simmer. It's important to keep the heat low to prevent the cannabis from burning or losing potency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Simmering Duration: Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 hours. The longer you simmer, the more potent the cannabutter will become. Keep an eye on the mixture and adjust the heat as needed.
Step 5: Straining
Straining: After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a separate container to strain the mixture. Slowly pour the mixture through the strainer or cheesecloth to separate the liquid cannabutter from the plant material. Press the plant material to extract as much liquid as possible.
Step 6 : Cooling and Storing
Cooling and Storing: Allow the strained cannabutter to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to an airtight container for storage. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to a month or in the freezer for several months.
Step 7 : Usage
Usage: Your homemade cannabutter is now ready to use in various recipes. Remember to start with a small amount when using it in cooking or baking to gauge its potency.
In conclusion, you've just learned how to create your very own batch of cannabutter – a versatile ingredient that can add a touch of magic to your culinary creations. By following the simple steps of decarboxylation, infusion, simmering, straining, and storing, you've unlocked a world of culinary possibilities.
