Making your very own cannabutter at home has numerous benefits. Not only can you be 100% sure of the ingredients, but it's also a remarkably easy process! With the help of a crockpot, you can effortlessly infuse cannabis into butter, unlocking a world of delicious cannabis-infused recipes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup ground cannabis flower (decarboxylated)*
- 4 cups water
Going Step by Step
- Set your crockpot to low heat.
- Add the butter and water to the crockpot and stir until the butter melts.
- Gradually sprinkle the ground cannabis into the crockpot, stirring well to ensure it is evenly distributed.
- Cover the crockpot and let the mixture simmer on low heat for 4-6 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent any burning or sticking.
- After the cooking time has elapsed, turn off the crockpot and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Place a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer over a large, heat-resistant bowl or container. Pour the mixture through the strainer, straining out the plant material. Squeeze the cheesecloth to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Discard the remaining plant material and let the liquid cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the bowl or container to the refrigerator and let it sit overnight.
- The next day, the cannabutter will have solidified on top of the water. Carefully remove the hardened cannabutter from the water and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Your homemade cannabutter is now ready to be used in your favorite recipes! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for future use.
- Give it a try and enjoy!
Tips
- Decarboxylation is a crucial step in activating the THC in cannabis.
- Before grinding your cannabis, spread it evenly on a baking sheet and bake it at 240°F (115°C) for 40 minutes.
- This process enhances the potency of the cannabutter.
- Stirring occasionally during the cooking process helps to ensure a consistent infusion.
- Adjust the strength of your cannabutter by modifying the amount of cannabis used.
- Remember to start with a small dose and listen to your body before consuming more.
We are sure you are a perfect cook! Nonetheless, do remember to pay attention to the amount of Cannabutter – Crockpot you consume: it should always be modified based on the strength of your product and the potency you desire.
