Homemade Cannabutter

We’ve decided to start from the simplest weed recipe of all — a simple cannabutter. Cannabutter is basically the only ingredient that confers cannabis effects on your edibles. Without cannabutter, there’s actually no cannabis-infused anything! So, why not start from here? Besides, it’s the easiest to make.

You can find cannabutter in almost any dispensary, but here you have a recipe to make yours. You can sprinkle or drizzle cannabutter on just about any food item; cakes, snacks, salads, potatoes, full course meals, and so on.

To make cannabutter desserts, add a measured amount of cannabis oil to your dessert. So to make this quick, easy cannabis-infused butter recipe, you’ll need to purchase good quality buds and butter to go with it.

Directions

First, grind the cannabis and decarboxylate it in an oven at 230°F for about 30 minutes. Then melt the butter on low heat in a saucepan. Add the decarboxylated cannabis to the melted butter, stir at intervals. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 45 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the cannabis-butter mixture cool for a little while. Using a cheesecloth, strain the oil from the mixture into a container, a jar preferably. Discard the remaining plant matter, seal up the jar and store it in a fridge or freezer. You can take out any quantity you want whenever you need it.
