Before you can make any kind of ‘baked’ goods, you’ll need to know how to make Cannabutter. If you didn’t already know, now you will…

Things you’ll need

1. · 1 ounce shake and stems OR 1/4 ounce bud
2. · 2 sticks (1 cup) of butter
3. · Large cooking pot
4. · Large bowl
5. · Water
6. · Strainer
7. · cheesecloth
8. · Baking sheet (for optional steps)

Optional pre-steps
* This process changes the chemical compound in the stems, as if lighting the bud with a lighter, to release the THC (to get you high.) It’s super smelly, so if you’re worried about getting caught – Skip it…

• · Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• · Spread the herb evenly over a baking sheet.
• · Bake at 250 degrees for 30 minutes.

Instructions

Now, comes the fun part:

1. · Fill a large cooking pot with water and bring it to a boil.
2. · Once the water is boiling, add the butter.
3. · Add shake/stems/scraps/bud/whatever you’re using and turn the temperature down to a low boil.
4. · Cover half-way to allow the water to evaporate.
5. · Stir the mix every 15 minutes until most of the water has evaporated. (30-90 minutes, but could take longer depending on the amount you’re making)
6. · Remove from heat and let stand until it’s cooled off a bit.
7. · Put the strainer in the large bowl and drape the cheesecloth over it.
8. · Slowly pour what’s in the pot over the cheesecloth, into the strainer. Scrape the gook in the pot out onto the cheesecloth as well.
9. · Bundle the cheesecloth up and squeeze the remaining butter out of the scraps inside, then dispose of the cheesecloth.
10. · Remove the strainer and put the remaining bowl of melted cannabutter in the refridgerator for a few hours.
11. · Once the cannabutter has hardened, take the bowl out of the fridge and slowly remove the canna-frisbee with a knife.
12. · Remove any residual nasties that may have slipped through to the bottom.

Now you have pure, bright green Cannabutter! You can either use it as is (Spread it on a piece of toast!), or melt it and use it to make other yummy treats. (Brownies, grilled cheese, Rice Krispies treats, etc.)
