We're diving into the wonderful world of infused cooking by making some delicious and versatile DIY Canna Butter. This recipe is perfect for anyone looking to add a little extra magic to their culinary creations. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
2 cups of unsalted butter
1 ounce of decarboxylated cannabis
1 cup of water
Equipment:
Magical Butter Machine (or an alternative method if you don't have one)
Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
Airtight storage container
Instructions:
Decarboxylation:
Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).
Break up the cannabis into small pieces and spread it evenly on a baking sheet.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the cannabis is lightly browned and aromatic. This process activates the THC, which is crucial for making effective DIY Canna Butter.
Preparation:
Place the butter and water in the Magical Butter Machine. The water helps to prevent the butter from burning and ensures even extraction.
Add the decarboxylated cannabis to the machine.
Infusion:
Set the temperature on the Magical Butter Machine to 160°F (70°C).
Set the timer for 2 hours. The machine will mix, grind, and heat the ingredients, creating perfectly infused DIY Canna Butter.
If you don't have a Magical Butter Machine, you can use a slow cooker or a double boiler. Combine the butter, water, and cannabis, then cook on low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Straining:
After the infusion process is complete, strain the butter through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into an airtight storage container. This will remove the plant material, leaving you with smooth, infused DIY Canna Butter.
Squeeze the cheesecloth to extract as much butter as possible.
Cooling:
Allow the butter to cool at room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator to solidify.
Once the butter has solidified, remove the excess water layer that may have formed on top.
Storage:
Store your DIY Canna Butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Tips and Tricks:
For a stronger infusion, you can increase the amount of cannabis or extend the cooking time.
DIY Canna Butter can be used in any recipe that calls for regular butter, adding a unique twist to your favorite dishes.
Be mindful of dosage. Start with a small amount of DIY Canna Butter and adjust according to your tolerance and desired effect.
Conclusion: There you have it, a simple and effective way to make your own DIY Canna Butter at home. This versatile ingredient can elevate any meal, providing both flavor and an extra kick. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
