Cannabis Butter (CannaButter) Recipe

2012-01-23T21:44:00.000-08:00

CannaButter is something that many people would love to know how to make.

Well, to be honest it is quite simple! However, you want to do it right as you're using material that is not necessarily ideal to waste. If done properly using this recipe you can maximize the quality and quantity of the CannaButter you make.So to start we will begin by listing some of the things you are going to need...

**Proper Clothing Is a MUST. When you have fats and water together they tend to be very volatile and burning your arms is not a part of this recipe. So please use HOT GLOVES and long sleeves as you may or may not accidentally burn yourself.**

Materials you will need:
- A strong grinder to grind the Cannabis material.
- A stove to heat the CannaButter.
- A medium sized heavy duty sauce pan/pot with lid. It's important to have the pot the same size as the element that it is on to ensure even heat distribution.
- A measuring cup.
- A whisk or a large fork to mix the material with the water/butter solution in the pot.
- Cheese cloth to strain the material before cooling.
- A bowl large enough to hold and cool the CannaButter material.
- A space in your refrigerator to cool and separate the water from butter.
- A heavy duty plastic wrap to handle and compress the CannaButter into a smaller, easier to handle shape.
- A freezable container to store the material
- A space in your freezer to store the finished product.

Please make sure you have all these things before you begin and have them set aside as you will need them immediately during and at the end of the CannaButter making process.

Note:
To make a strong CannaButter you will need to adjust the amount of Cannabis you use in accordance with the strength of butter you would like. It is not recommended to make weak CannaButter or reduce the Cannabis:Butter ratio as you may feel "ripped off" after you've tried the butter.
This recipe will make about 350g of medium-grade strength CannaButter.
Remember you will have a small loss when handling the material.

So with that being said,

Ingredients you will need:
- 1 lb. of unsalted butter
- 2 cups of water
- 1 oz. of premium, middle, or low grade Cannabis.
* Obviously the better product you use the better the butter will be.

That's it!
Okay, Now go get your shit together and let's cook!

To Prepare:
We'll begin by grinding the Cannabis material very very fine. Way beyond the extent that you would grind it if you were smoking it. Make your Cannabis a fine powder. Using an electric coffee grinder dedicated to the purpose of grinding Cannabis or cleaning one VERY, VERY well. It's suggest buying a rinky dink coffee grinder if you do not have one as cutting the Cannabis with scissors or grinding it with a space case grinder will not make the Cannabis fine enough.
You basically want a bowl of very, very fine Cannabis material.

Cooking:

Bring 2 cups of water to a covered boil.
Once the water is boiling, add your butter and melt it in the water.
When the butter is melted, reduce heat to very low so that when covered the butter will simmer but not boil.
Add the ground cannabis material to the water and butter solution and mix thoroughly, making sure to leave no clumps and or anything stuck to the bottom.
Place the lid on the pot and leave the heat on a very low setting.

The CannaButter is now ready to simmer and cook for 22-24 hours. This amount of time is important. It is required to extract the THC from the finely ground Cannabis. However, you DO NOT want to COOK the CannaButter MORE THAN 24 HOURS. After 24 hours the THC will degrade and the butter will go bitter. During this 24 hour cooking period you will need to check on the Canna Butter every few hours to ensure that the boil is not to strong and to ensure that the butter has not reduced to much. If you find the solution reducing faster than expected it does not hurt to add a few table spoons of water over the 24 hour period.

Extraction:

Once you have simmered the CannaButter for long enough, turn the heat off.
Let the solution sit for 2-4 minutes and remove it from the heat.

USE APPROPRIATE CLOTHING AS THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN BURN YOURSELF...in other words.. don't do this next step in your boxers.

You are now ready to extract the used Cannabis material from the CannaButter solution..
Place the cheese cloth over an open bowl and ensure that when the liquid is poured through the cheese cloth will not go with it. The idea here is to strain the solution using the cheese cloth so that you will not have bits of cannabis in the solution. Most of the THC is extracted by now. Once the solution has been strained through the cheese cloth and the material collected, you will have a solution in a bowl and cheese cloth full of soggy Cannabis material. Squeeze and extract as much of the solution from the cheese cloth and material as possible. The butter solution is what you want, not the bi-product
which is the soggy Cannabis. Remove as much of the solution as possible into the bowl.

Cooling:
Place the bowl with the CannaButter solution into your reserved space in your refrigerator and let it cool for a few hours, even overnight. This process will separate the fats from the water. The fat being our CannaButter. During this process you will be able to see the progress of the butter as it cools, much like watching Jell-o go firm. However, you want to let it sit long enough to ensure the complete separation of the fats from the water.

Removing Your Butter and Storing:
Removing the butter from the bowl may seem a bit tricky...but will be considerably less messy if you use the Heavy duty plastic wrap to handle the now solid butter. Simply remove enough plastic and use it like a doggy bag to remove the top slab of CannaButter from the bowl. Pat dry the CannaButter to remove any excess water. Now use the plastic wrap to compress the CannaButter into a smaller more manageable size. Store in a freezable,airtight container or mason jar.
Note:
Depending on the amount of CannaButter you make, it may be better to use a slotted spoon or spatula instead of your hands.

KEEP FROZEN AT ALL TIMES.
If kept frozen the butter will not go bad or lose any potency before you get around to using it.
The butter will melt quickly once it warms up.. so handle it quickly and keep it in the freezer as much as possible.
And that's it! Now go lick clean some utensils and enjoy your CannaButter.

CannaButter can be used in a range of things and can even be used to bake goods like muffins,cookie and brownies. Some simply enjoy CannaButter on toast. Whatever you decide to use it in or on, remember that you do not want to re-cook it but baking it into something for a short period of time (about the length of time it takes to bake cookies or muffins) will not harm your CannaButter at all.

That's it! get cookin'!

A medium stainless steel sauce pan with lid. Size of pan is to be same as the stove heating element for the even allocation of heat.
A measuring cup.
A whisk or a large fork to mix the material with the water/butter solution in the pot.
Cheese cloth to strain the material before cooling.
A bowl large enough to hold and cool the CannaButter material.
A space in your refrigerator to chill and take apart the water from butter.

A freezable container to store the material.
A space in your freezer to store the finished product.

Please be assured to have above mentioned items and marshal these items in an easy and accessible manner for immediate use during and at the closing stages of cannabutter making process.

Note:
To make a strong CannaButter you will require adjusting the quantity of Cannabis you bring into play in accordance with the potency of butter you would like. It is not compulsory to make weak CannaButter or reduce the Cannabis Butter percentage as you may feel “no effect” after you’ve tried the butter. This recipe will make about 350g of medium strength CannaButter. Mind it that while combining the ingredients there will be a miniature loss.

Ingredients:

1 lbs of unsalted butter
3 cups of water
1 oz. of premium, middle or high grade Cannabis (trimmings are okay, but not as strong). The higher you go in quality of product, the better butter it will be

Well, now let’s cook!

Prep:

Start by grinding the cannabis stuff very fine. Grind the cannabis material very finely by making it coarse and separated. You have to use a grinder after very keen cleaning if you don’t have a dedicated grinder for cannabis grinding. It’s very important to have good cannabis for use.

Cooking:

Bring three (3) cups of water to a covered boil. Place the butter into the boiling water and let melt. Once the butter is melted, reduce heat to a very low setting, so when covered the cannabutter will simmer gently. Now cannabis material is to be added to water and butter solution. After adding cannabis trim, keep mixing it along with fluffing it up into pan constantly so that the whole material does not stick to the bottom and there are no clusters. After making sure that there are no clusters position the lid on the pan and keep heat on minimum temperature.

Now it’s time to cook and let cannabutter simmer gently for 1-2 hours. This much time is very important and it should not cook for more than 3 hours.

After 1-2 hours have passed, THC will be combined with the melted butter.

During these 1-2 hours you are suppose to check cannabutter with intervals. To ensure proper heat temperature remains and not to boil the ingredients, this can trim down the butter excessively.

Extraction:

After above mentioned period of time, now you have to turn the heat off. Then let the solution sit for 2-4 minutes and remove it from the heat.

As mentioned earlier as well, proper cloths usage is very important at this stage.

Now it’s ready to get extracted. Place the cheese cloth over an open bowl and ensure that when the liquid is poured through the cheese cloth will not go with it. The idea here is to strain the solution using the cheese cloth so that you will not have bits of cannabis in the solution. Most of the THC is extracted by now. Once the solution has been strained through the cheese cloth and the material collected, you will have a solution in a bowl and cheese cloth full of soggy Cannabis material.

Extract as much as you can of the solution from the cheese cloth.

Solution must be removed as much as possible in the bowl.

Cooling:

Now put the bowl of cannabutter solution in your refrigerator, at that place which was keep for cannabutter and keep it there for a few hours. As this cooling process is taking place keep a check on the progress and let it be there for the separation of fats from the water to be maximum.

Now you will be removing your butter from the bowl. As butter is solid now so it is recommended that you use heavy duty plastic wrap for it. Collect as much solid cannabutter material from the bowl and drain the excess water (it should look gritty and dirty). Remove surplus of water by patting dry the cannabutter. Now form cannabutter with the help of plastic wrap in a better size to get compressed. Store it in an airtight and freezable container.

The point of getting butter to freeze here is that it never loses its potency, so it can be used or kept for longer time. So it’s clear that melting will take place quickly once it’s warmed. Now it’s ready for you to enjoy!

Use of canna butter can be in things like to bake muffins, cookie and brownies. Keep in mind that when you want to have a lick of canna butter, don’t just cook it, bake it a bit and it’s as good as it was at the time of cooking.

Cranberry Oatmeal Ganja Cookies

2008-07-04T01:13:00.000-07:00

Overview:

To make it easy to understand, I am going to separate the ingredients into WET and DRY since the recipe calls for mixing up the WET in one bowl, then mixing up the DRY in another bowl. After each has mixed together well, gradually add the DRY mix into the WET ingredients, folding them together with a spatula or wooden spoon. DO NOT USE A POWER MIXER.

Ingredients:

"WET" BOWL

3 Tablespoons Ganja Butter
3 Tablespoons Salted Butter
1 Cup firmly packed Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Egg
1/4 Cup Water
1 Teaspoon Vanilla

"DRY" BOWL

3 Cups Oatmeal
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

OTHER

1 Cup Dried Cranberries (added at the very end)

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all WET ingredients into a bowl and beat then together to a smooth texture. Combine all DRY ingredients into a separate bowl and mix together, then gradually stir DRY ingredients into the WET ingredients and mix well until consistent texture. Now that dough is mixed, add 1 Cup Dried Cranberries and mix into cookie dough.

Grease up a cookie sheet and use 2 separate tablespoons to drop rounded dough blobs (about the size of a half-dollar) on cookie sheet. I get get a dozen cookies per sheet arranged in 3 rows of 4 blobs. Bake at 350 F for 12-15 minutes (mine were perfect at 13-1/2 min.) Remove from oven and let them sit on the cookie sheet and cool for 5 minutes.

I use 2 separate cookie sheets and bake them one batch at a time. When the first sheet came out I put the second batch in the oven immediately. While the first batch was cooling for 5 minutes, I stirred the dough a few times. I then lift the cookies off the sheet and place them on a wire cooling rack. I then use the 2 separate tablespoons to drop 12 more blobs of dough on the cookie sheet and am ready to repeat the process.

This recipe makes ~3 dozen cookies.

Beverages: Simple Cannamilk (Marijuana Milk)

2008-03-07T20:59:00.000-08:00

The potency of cannibus is very important in the production of cannamilk as milk has much less fat for the THC to react with as opposed to butter. You can adjust the amount of weed to the recipe for strength just remember the more you put in the mix the more herby it will taste. You can also use more heavy cream and get a much more potent outcome. However, some people do not like the taste or amount of fat.

INGREDIENTS:
6 cups fresh whole milk
2 cup heavy cream
1 oz more processed buds or frosty trim
1 medium sauce pan
1 large mixing bowl with lid
cheesecloth
1 whisk or mixing spoon
Clean air tight container for storage

PREPARATION:
1. Place pan on stove half full of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and place mixing bowl on top.
2. Add the cream and milk and heat almost until boiling, stirring occasionally. Whisk in ganja and let steep on med/low for about 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let the mixture boil or let the bottom pan's water dry up.
3. Strain through cheesecloth into storage container. Store in a dark place or container. Milk may appear to separate just give it a shake when ready to use. Keeps for approximately a week.

-The quality of marijuana is very important when making cannamilk as milk has much less fat for the THC to bond with. You can adjust the amount of leaf. Just remember - the more pot, the greener the milk.

Marijuana Laws by State

States in green have introduced or passed legislation
in regards to marijuana decriminalization.
