#Cannabis #Edibles #Foodie

Ingredients
3.5 grams cannabis flower (about 1/8 ounce) 3 tablespoons distilled water 1 cup unsalted butter (8 ounces), preferably organic and grass-fed
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
Immersion stick circulator 1 vacuum-sealable bag (vacuum-sealable bags are preferred but sturdy sealable quart-sized plastic bags can stand in) 1 vacuum sealer

How to Make It
Step 1
Set immersion circulator to 200°F and place in a medium saucepan filled with tap water. Grind the cannabis buds into small pieces and place in the vacuum-sealable bag with 3 tablespoons distilled water. Using the vacuum sealer, seal the bag completely.

Step 2
When the circulator reaches 200°F, drop the sealed bag into the water and decarb for 30 minutes, turning the bag every 5 to 10 minutes to ensure the cannabis is submerged in water.

Step 3
Transfer the bag to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve the terpenes; let cool. Melt butter in a small saucepan; add cannabis, and simmer, stirring often, for 20 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the butter mixture steep for another 30 minutes.

Step 4
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a shallow container with an airtight lid. You’ll have 12 tablespoons (3/4 cup) of cannabutter, with about 43mg of THC per tablespoon based on a 20% THC strain. Keep refrigerated and use it within 30 days.

Notes
This recipe yields 12 tablespoons cannabutter with approximately 43mg THC per tablespoon based on a 20% THC strain

    This is not how "premium" should look like. This is parody. Dislike.

    what kind of nonsense is this You’re adding water to the bag of weed You’re using a bag of weed inside of hot water what the f*** is going on here I thought we’re making cannabutter

    Okay so I’m from Canada I’m from Vancouver We’ve been marijuana medics for the past 80 years I’m going to tell you how to make it properly no backwards methods and it’s super easy.

    you can use a pot on a stove top but you really have to watch it so you don’t burn it.

    I like a slow cooker The rule I use is for every 2 lb of butter you use 4 lb of cannabis. If you have really good shake you can use it I use buds top shelf. Turn the slow cooker on to the lowest setting get the butter to melt down and once it’s melted add your cannabis don’t grind it to a dust you can break it with your hands and still keep like half gram nugs. Let that s*** simmer on the lowest setting for a minimum of 6 hours I go 12 hours I try to do it on a Sunday when I got f*** all going on.

    I strained it in a cheesecloth using that colander is nonsense that does not keep out the particles. You can strain it however you want strain it into containers you can put in the freezer.
    Tip if you put them in one pound bricks it’s easy to measure out when cooking.

    I used 1 lb of butter and made 24 cookies I just used a regular recipe and subbed butter for cannabutter. They worked out to about 110 mg of thc a cookie
    You can always infuse the butter so each brick is flavoured then you could just put it on bagels or bread as is and get baked



  13. Noah Maynard on March 29, 2023 at 7:44 am

    Would filtered water from a Brita work instead of distilled water



  14. False Empire on March 29, 2023 at 7:45 am

    That ain’t no eighth lmao



  15. Joel Hinds on March 29, 2023 at 7:45 am

    Ya melt in plastic with your cannabis, great just great. Like it doesn’t leech at all… 🙄



  16. Mikey on March 29, 2023 at 7:47 am

    Am i missing a trick here 🤔 what did you do with the water that you basically washed your weed in? Can you not decarboxylate the weed in the butter as it simmers for 3 hours?



  17. 小莓人魚 on March 29, 2023 at 7:48 am

    many other recipes require 3 hours of cooking. This one only 20mins. What’s the difference? 🤷🏻‍♀️



  18. Leah Nichole on March 29, 2023 at 7:50 am

  36. one life on March 29, 2023 at 8:10 am

  39. Cristian Gomez on March 29, 2023 at 8:13 am

    Let’s say if I didn’t do that could I just buy pre-made weed butter or I guess it’s called cannabutter in a dispensary I’m sure they sell those I’ve also seen like gummy bears never really try that before but sounds interesting

  45. am lou on March 29, 2023 at 8:16 am

    Cooking butter with cannabis for how long?



  49. Kogosho ch on March 29, 2023 at 8:24 am

    I’m guessing you did the decarb process like this to avoid smell?
    I don’t think putting it in the oven would be a good idea in my case lol (family)



  50. Star Krasher on March 29, 2023 at 8:25 am

    What do we do with the water in the bag?
