Yes, You Cannabutter! (A simple cannabutter recipe)

A DIY cannabutter recipe

Edibles are an awesome way to enjoy the effects of cannabis and are always better when you make them at home. Cannabis-infused butter or cannabutter can be used anywhere you would use regular butter – spread it on toast, bake cookies, brownies, or any other recipe that calls for butter or oil.

At SunBud, we stick to the philosophy of keeping things simple when making our cannabutter. We use either buds or good quality trim (tiny “sugar leaves” that surrounded the buds, not the huge fan leaves from lower down the stem and definitely not the stems themselves). One ounce of decarbed cannabis is needed to make one pound of cannabutter (adjust proportions as desired). You can also use Kind Meds’ cannabutter THC dosage calculator to help calculate the serving sizes.

A super simple way to make cannabutter:

STEP 1: Decarb one ounce of broken up bud or high-quality trim.

STEP 2: Place decarbed cannabis in a small crock pot with one pound of melted butter and a half cup of water.

STEP 3: Leave it on low for three hours.

STEP 4: Strain the cannabutter through a double layer of cheesecloth.

STEP 5: Place the strained butter in small glass jars and store it in the refrigerator.

STEP 6: After the butter cools, there will be a solid layer of cannabutter on the top and a layer of liquid underneath. Discard the liquid layer and use the solid butter in any recipe you like.

Remember, as always with edibles, start low and go slow. Regarding dosing, there’s no way to make the dosing exact. A good rule of thumb is if you used an ounce of weed in making your butter, a tablespoon of your cannabutter will have the THC from about one gram of weed in it.
