Dry Ice Kief is a potent form of cannabis concentrate that can be used in various edibles and concentrates. It is a popular method of extracting kief from cannabis buds and leaves, and it is a simple process that can be done at home with minimal equipment. In this recipe, we will go over the step-by-step process of making Dry Ice Kief, along with some tips to ensure the best results.
Ingredients
- 1-2 ounces of cannabis flower or trim
- 1-2 pounds of dry ice
- Large bucket
- Bubble bags (73, 160, and 220-micron sizes)
- Rubber gloves
- Wooden spoon
- Clean, flat surface
- Airtight container
Going Step by Step
- Break the cannabis buds and trim into smaller pieces and place them in the large bucket.
- Add the dry ice to the bucket, covering the cannabis.
- Use the wooden spoon to stir the cannabis and dry ice together for 3-5 minutes. This will cause the trichomes to freeze and become brittle.
- Place the bubble bags in order of size, with the smallest size on top and the largest on the bottom, inside a new bucket.
- Pour the cannabis and dry ice mixture into the bags, starting with the smallest size on top.
- Shake the bags gently for 1-2 minutes, allowing the kief to sift through the bags and into the new bucket.
- Remove each bag and collect the kief from each size in separate piles.
- Store the kief in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
- Give it a try and enjoy!
Tips
- Use high-quality cannabis for the best results.
- Make sure to wear rubber gloves when handling dry ice to avoid frostbite.
- Use a clean, flat surface to collect the kief to prevent contamination.
- Store the kief in an airtight container to prevent moisture and maintain potency.
- Use the kief to make edibles, concentrates, or sprinkle on top of your favorite strain for an extra kick.
We are sure you are a perfect cook! Nonetheless, do remember to pay attention to the amount of Dry Ice Kief you consume: it should always be modified based on the strength of your product and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so it is strongly recommended to start with one portion of a serving. After one or two hours, listen to your body and decide whether to consume more. It is not recommended to drive or operate any machinery when taking edibles. Use responsibly!
