Cannabutter recipe

Cannabis butter is a popular recipe among culinary enthusiasts seeking the effects of THC. While similar to regular butter, it undergoes a process that allows it to absorb various cannabinoids and compounds from the cannabis plant. Proper dosage is crucial, as consuming cannabis in this form utilizes the entire plant, whereas smoking only allows the body to absorb about 40%. Furthermore, the high THC concentration can intensify its effects, making its psychoactive impact stronger. To avoid overconsumption, doses should always be carefully controlled, starting with small amounts.

Elaboración paso a paso

Instructions
First, grind the cannabis to improve its reaction when mixed with the butter. A blender can be used for this step. Then, boil the plant material in water over very low heat for 20 minutes. This process helps remove the chlorophyll taste and most impurities, making it ready for mixing with butter.
After removing impurities from the plant material, the next step is to melt the butter using a double boiler on the lowest heat, making sure it never comes to a boil. (We suggest using butter, as our tests comparing butter and margarine showed a significant difference in results.)
When the butter is completely melted, add the plant material. Keep it over very low heat, stirring constantly. Gradually, the butter will take on a greener color.
Continue stirring for about 30 minutes until the mixture becomes uniform and homogeneous.
Once you are sure that the cannabis has released all its essence and the mixture is smooth and green, it’s time to strain the butter into a container to remove any leftover plant matter.
Let the butter cool at room temperature for a couple of hours before refrigerating it for 24 hours. This allows a solid layer of butter to form on top of the water, similar in texture to store-bought butter but with a greener color. The next day, carefully remove the cannabis butter layer from the container.
Once finished, it can be stored in the refrigerator for about two weeks before it spoils. For longer storage, freeze it and use it as needed. Besides, it’s advisable to cut it into portions before freezing to make it easier to use small amounts without thawing the entire batch.
