Ingredients
- 1 stick of cannabutter
- 10 grams of cannabis
Tools
- Weed grinder
- Cheesecloth
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Small cooking pot
- Spoon
- Heat resistant container
- Medium saucepan
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
-
While you wait, grind the cannabis using weed grinder, then prepare the baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper.
-
Spread the cannabis grind across the baking sheet and bake it in the oven for 45 minutes.
While the grind is baking, it is a good idea to flip it and move it around every 15 minutes to avoid scalding
Add water to a saucepan and place it onto a burner.
Set the smaller pot inside and fill it with the herb grind and butter.
Set the temperature to a medium heat and wait for the butter to melt.
Once the mixture reaches a simmer, let it remain for 3 to 5 hours, as any hotter can burn the butter. This is going to require close monitoring and adding more water to the saucepan as needed.
Once it has finished cooking, remove the pot from the heat, then strain the butter by placing a few sheets of cheesecloth over the opening of the storage container then pour the butter through to remove the excess plant materials.
Allow the cannabutter to cool to room temperature. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one month.
