Ingredients

  • Water
  • 200 g (7 oz ) butter
  • 2 g cannabis (or more, depending on desired potency)

Directions

1

Bring a saucepan with a small amount of water to a boil.

2

Add the butter and cannabis.

3

Simmer this for a few hours on a low heat, adding water if too much evaporates. Do not let the temperature rise above about 190°F.

4

Cool down. The oils and the extracts in the cannabis are now dissolved in the fat.

5

Strain the mixture to remove the cannabis solids. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator to solidify the butter and separate out the water. The finished cannabutter should have a slight green color with a slightly off taste from the cannabis.

6

Store the butter for up to 2 weeks in the fridge or 6 months in the freezer.
