Simple Cannabutter Recipe

Step 1

Add 1 stick of butter to a small saucepot. Allow it to fully melt over low heat. (You must keep the heat low to avoid browning the butter or frying the cannabis buds.)

Step 2

Once the butter is melted, add the decarboxylated cannabis.

Step 3

Using a candy thermometer, aim for a temperature around 190-210 degrees Fahrenheit. Don’t fry the flower. Don’t let it brown. Don’t let it get smoky.

Step 4

Simmer the flower and butter together for a minimum of 30 minutes, up to 90 minutes.

Step 5

Line a mesh strainer with cheesecloth and pour butter through; straining out the raffinate. Don’t forget to give the cloth and plant matter a hefty squeeze to get all the last bits of THC goodness out.

Step 6

Store in a shallow and wide airtight container.
