A Cannabutter Recipe

The ‘Martha Stewart of Edibles’ shares her personal recipe for cannabis-infused butter.

Preparation

  • 01

    Decarboxylate the cannabis

    Before making the butter, bake the cannabis on a cookie sheet, in a single layer, for 40 minutes at 240 degrees.

RECIPE

  • Prep Time: 40 min preparation time, 3 hours simmer time

Ingredients

  • 4 sticks of butter to every ounce of marijuana
  • 1 ounce cannabis flower ( shaken, ground and decarboxylated)

Method

  • In a medium saucepan bring water to a boil. You can vary the amounts, just be sure that the marijuana is always floating 2 inches from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the butter.
  • After the butter has melted add the marijuana. Once the cannabis is added the heat should be turned down very low to barely a simmer. Cook for three hours.
  • Strain the mixture. Use a deep heatproof glass bowl with a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth. You can also tie a double layer of cheesecloth around a large heatproof bowl with twine, making it taut across the top.
  • When the saucepan is empty, pick up the cheesecloth from all four sides and squeeze out all of the remaining butter.
  • Allow the canna-butter to cool at room temperature for about an hour.
  • Place in the fridge until the butter has solidified and separated from the water. The THC and other properties would have attached to the butter.
  • Run a knife around the edge and lift the butter off the water.
  • Place upside down on your work surface and scrape off any of the plant matter and milk solids.
  • Your canna-butter is ready to use. Store in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container.
