Infusing cannabis is, unfortunately, a process.
you might’t just sprinkle some bud over your food and expect rainbows and unicorns.
Different chefs will have different methods for preparing cannabutter or cannaoil.
This process is called decarboxylation.
Essentially, you’ll be baking the cannabis in the oven low and slow.
While it can be tempting to skip this step, don’t!
Note: The decarboxylation process will fill your house with the aroma of cannabis.
Keep that in mind if you live in an apartment building with neighbors who may complain.
That’s one reason why I suggest covering the pan tightly with foil.
Opening windows and running fans during the process can also help.
What you need:
Directions:
1.
Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 220F.
Add the flower pieces to the baking pan and cover with foil lid or foil, sealing the edges.
Bake on the center rack for 45 minutes.
Let cool, still covered, for 60 minutes.
Once cooled, use a grinder to grind the flower down.You want to end up with a medium grind.
You’ll want to use this decarboxylated flower to make your butter or oil right away.
Step 2: Infuse butter or oil
It’s time for the infusion process!
Note that both of these options are quite a bit more expensive than even good-quality butter.
Fill a pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a very gentle simmer.
Put your heatproof bowl on top.
Add butter (or ghee or oil) and decarboxylated cannabis to the bowl.
Stir the mixture about every 10 to 15 minutes and confirm the fat never gets hot enough to bubble.
You want it to remain liquid so it’s possible for you to strain out the flower.
Pour the fat through a cheesecloth or nut-milk bag into a jar.
Do the math when you want to use the fat in a recipe.
Now it’s time to experiment and enjoy!
