Ingredients and Tools

Cannabis: 1 ounce, finely ground (opt for strains like OG Kush or Cherry Cola for a similar experience to Grilled Cheese)

Butter: 1 cup (unsalted preferred)

Water: 1 cup (to help regulate temperature and prevent burning)

Tools:

  • Grinder

  • Cheesecloth

  • Saucepan or slow cooker

  • Storage container

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Cannabutter

Grind Your Cannabis: Start by finely grinding your chosen strain. A finer grind will ensure maximum THC extraction but avoid turning it into a powder.


Decarboxylate: Spread your ground cannabis on a baking sheet and bake at 240°F for about 30-40 minutes. This process activates the THC, making it ready to infuse into your butter.


Mix Ingredients: Add water and butter to your saucepan or slow cooker, then stir in the decarboxylated cannabis.


Simmer: Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. It's crucial not to let it boil to prevent THC degradation.


Strain: Use cheesecloth to strain the mixture into your storage container, squeezing out as much butter as possible.


Cool: Allow the cannabutter to cool before sealing and storing it in the refrigerator. Any excess water will separate from the butter and can be removed once solidified.
