Have you ever wondered what it would take to\u00a0<\/span>make your own edibles at home<\/span><\/a>? Have you ever been wowed by a friend\u2019s or professional baker\u2019s creations in a 420-friendly kitchen? If so, we can help you achieve those skills on your own. With this guide, you\u2019ll learn the best practices for making cannabutter and turning any recipe into an infused, medicated delight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Cannabutter?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Cannabis-infused butter, or cannabutter, is a staple ingredient for any edible chef, whether home-based or professional. Learning how to make this simple infusion will allow you to medicate with your favorite recipes the way you want or need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve surely heard, and likely seen, that oil and water don\u2019t mix. The same is true of THC and other cannabinoids present in marijuana. This cannabinoid is lipophilic — or more plainly — fat-soluble. That means THC molecules want to bind themselves to fat. This is also why it can take weeks to leave your body; it naturally wants to stay stored in your fat cells and is best extracted into a high-fat substance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Butter is an excellent choice for infusion because it is high in saturated fat (about 63%). Many edible chefs have noted anecdotally that saturated fat attracts THC the best, which is why coconut oil is a commonly used infusion base. Olive oil is another popular choice, but it makes other vegetable and seed oils less ideal as infusion mediums.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Making weed butter at home is a wonderful skill to add to your repertoire. The possibilities are endless when it comes to homemade edibles. Whether you spread a little cannabutter on your morning toast, melt a pad on top of a steak, or use infused butter as the star of buttercream frosting on a cupcake, you can make any recipe a medicated, delicious edible. Brownies are great, but wait until you try some infused better on a couple of over-easy eggs — now that\u2019s a Sunday brunch dish!<\/span><\/p>\n

A good rule of thumb for infusing cannabis oil is to use about 1 gram of flower<\/a> per 1 ounce of infusion base (whether that is butter, coconut oil<\/a>, or grain alcohol). Therefore, for 1 cup of butter, you\u2019ll want to use 7 grams (or 1\/4 ounce) of cannabis. It is possible to use more, but more than a 2:1 ratio (flower:infusion base) runs the risk of wasting flower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
