Step 1

With a grinder, break down your hemp or high-CBD flower coarsely. Make sure that the flower buds are evenly ground. Preferably, use 1 cup of plant material for each cup of butter.

Step 2

Decarb the hemp flower. Preheat your oven to 220°F and spread the ground flower on a baking sheet. Bake it for 30 to 45 minutes. If you have CBD oil, you can skip this step.

Step 3

Chop 1 cup of butter into smaller pieces and melt it slowly, on low heat. Once it is melted and heated, add the ground flower mixture to the pot and stir gently.

Step 4

Submerge the flower in the butter completely and cover the slow cooker or pot.  Simmer the mixture over low heat for at least one hour. If you desire maximum cannabinoid extraction, leave it six to eight hours.

Step 5

Remove the butter mixture from the heat. While it is still warm and malleable, use a metal strainer. Then, use a container lined with a cheesecloth, and pour the mixture. Gently squeeze the cheesecloth to press out as much of the oil or butter as possible.

Step 6

Place your homemade CBD butter into the refrigerator or freezer. Keep in mind that this will last up to two months in the fridge or even six months in the freezer.
