[...]Easy 7 Step Cannabutter Recipe | I Love Weed[...]…

Once the butter has been clarified, you can add the weed to the crockpot. One ounce of weed to one pound of butter is sufficient if you are using good weed like Kush buds, but two ounces should be used if using trimmings. If using schwag, the ratio should probably be doubled: two ounces of schwag for every one pound of butter. Let the weed sit on Low for up to 8 hours in the crockpot with an occasion stir then refrigerate for 8 hours. Complete this heating and cooling cycle 1-3 times.

Once the heating and cooling cycles are done, it is time to strain the weed from the clarified butter. A cheesecloth works just fine and you get the most butter out of the sloggy mixture this way, but the timing is tricky since the butter must be warm enough to be a fluid liquid but cool enough not peel the skin off your hands. Since this is always a hit and miss game, using a coffee french press is just as easy and cleaner. So pour the mixture into the french press, press, and the store the butter in containers that can be frozen in case it isn’t used within the next few weeks.

Not only is the weed butter much more potent because the THC is binding to all the clarified butter molecules, but the milk fat isn’t taking up unnecessary volume or adding dead calories. Also, by clarifying the butter the treats will have a much longer shelf life and not need refrigeration due the lack of a dairy product ingredient (assuming the treat doesn’t contain other dairy items).

It takes some planning (need about 2-3 days to make a good batch), and a few kitchen utensils (crockpot, french coffee press, storage containers), but the results are EXCELLENT.

Hope this helps!
