- Finely ground cannabis (approximately 7-10 grams)
method :
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add the decarboxylated cannabis and mix well.
- Simmer this mixture for about 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, do not let it boil.
- Strain the butter through a cheesecloth into the prepared container, then squeeze the mixture to extract all the oil.
- Keep in the refrigerator until the cheese hardens.
Now you have Cannabutter ready to use in cooking.
