Recipes with Cannabutter and Cannabutter in Home Cooking

Making Cannabutter at Home

Whippin’ up cannabutter at home is dead easy, mate. You just need a few bits: butter, cannabis, and water.  Here’s a Simple Method to Make Your Own Cannabutter:

Decarboxylation: Start by decarbing your weed. Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread your cannabis on a baking sheet and bung it in the oven for about 40 minutes, giving it a stir every 10 minutes. This gets the THC activated.

Infusion: In a saucepan, melt a cup of butter with a cup of water. Chuck in the decarbed cannabis to the melted butter. Let it simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours, giving it a stir now and then. Make sure it doesn’t start bubbling.

Straining: After simmering, strain the mix through a cheesecloth into a bowl. Squeeze out all the liquid from the weed to make sure you get all the infused butter. Let the mix cool down and then stick it in the fridge until the butter hardens.

Separation: Once the butter’s solidified, drain off the water and keep the cannabutter for your recipes.
