To make cannabutter, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup water
– 1 cup ground cannabis flower (decarboxylated)
Instructions:
Decarboxylate the cannabis by spreading it evenly on an oven-safe tray and baking it in an oven at 245°F for 40 minutes. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the decarboxylated cannabis and water to the melted butter and stir to combine. Simmer the mixture over low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into a heat-safe container, discarding the plant matter. Let the mixture cool completely and then refrigerate it until the butter solidifies. Remove the solidified butter from the container and discard any remaining water.
