Butter fat can carry cannabinoids into recipes. A double boiler and gentle heat help protect both the butter and the final flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2 oz prepared cannabis
- 3/4 lb unsalted butter
- Water, if using the water method
Instructions
- Water method: combine one part butter with four parts water in a heavy pot or double boiler.
- Add crumbled cannabis, bring to a gentle boil, and cook for about 30 minutes while stirring frequently.
- Strain, cool at room temperature, then refrigerate. Lift away the hardened butter and discard the water.
- Direct method: melt butter gently in a saucepan or double boiler, then stir in sifted cannabis.
- Simmer gently until the butter becomes green, strain through cheesecloth, and press carefully to recover the butter.
- Cool, label, and refrigerate or freeze.
Store it carefully
Refrigerate for short-term use or freeze in measured portions. Always label it as infused.
