Cannabutter

@arecipe.bsky.social

Cannabutter is a preparation where butter is infused with cannabis. This transfers the psychoactive compounds in cannabis to the fat, and the resulting product can then be used to make various cannabis edibles.

Ingredients

  • Water
  • 200 g (7 oz) butter
  • 2 g cannabis (or more, depending on desired potency)

Instructions

  1. 1
    Bring a saucepan with a small amount of water to a boil.
  2. 2
    Add the butter and cannabis.
  3. 3
    Simmer this for a few hours on a low heat, adding water if too much evaporates. Do not let the temperature rise above about 190°F.
  4. 4
    Cool down. The oils and the extracts in the cannabis are now dissolved in the fat.
  5. 5
    Strain the mixture to remove the cannabis solids. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator to solidify the butter and separate out the water. The finished cannabutter should have a slight green color with a slightly off taste from the cannabis.
  6. 6
    Store the butter for up to 2 weeks in the fridge or 6 months in the freezer.
