A versatile infused oil for recipes that normally call for olive or canola oil.

The method

Instructions

  1. Pour the oil into a heavy saucepan or double boiler and warm it over medium-low heat.
  2. Add the prepared cannabis when the oil is hot but not boiling.
  3. Keep the oil just below a simmer and stir frequently. Do not allow it to boil.
  4. Continue the gentle infusion for at least one hour, preferably about two hours.
