Instructions:

Preparation of Marijuana

Crush well the marijuana flowers using a grinder or a grinder until it is well crushed and fine.

2. Flower Cleaning

We are going to clean the crushed flowers in very hot water for 20 minutes. It is important that the water does not come to a full boil. Keep the heat at a minimum and if you see bubbles, remove the pot from the heat, stir and put it back on the heat. With this process we will eliminate the flavor of the chlorophyll and remains of impurities. After cleaning the flowers with the hot water, strain and remove the water used in the cleaning. Important tip: do not let the mixture boil, neither during the cleaning of the flowers nor while cooking the butter, in order to preserve all the properties of the cannabis.

3. Butter Preparation

In a pot, mix the 250 grams of butter with half a glass of water. When the butter is melted, add the 5 grams of cleaned flowers.. Cook this mixture over low heat for 30 minutes, without boiling. Stirring constantly and remove from heat if necessary to avoid boiling. Gradually, you will notice that the butter takes on a greenish color. It is important to use water, because it regulates the temperature and prevents the butter from burning. It also facilitates the elimination of impurities during cooking.

4. Rest and Separation

Strain the mixture to remove the remains of the flowers. Pour the liquid butter into a cup or container that is not too wide, to make it easier to separate from the water. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 2 hours, then place it in the coldest part of the refrigerator, at the top of the fridge, for 24 hours. At the end of this time, the butter will have solidified and will have a homogeneous appearance.

5. Final Separation

Once the mixture is very cold, squeeze the táper as if it were a flan so that the butter forms a plate separated from the water. Carefully remove the butter plate and drain the excess water.

Use of Butter

The resulting butter can be used in various recipes. Approximately 125 grams of this butter is enough to make a marijuana brownie that yields for 8 people.

And that’s it! You know how to make marijuana butter. Remember to consume in moderation, keeping in mind that cannabis is absorbed much more when ingested than when smoked. The peak effect may take longer to appear (30-60 minutes) but the effects may be more intense and longer lasting than when smoked.

We have to remember that Cannactiva CBD flowers are for external use. These products are not intended for ingestion. We have the best CBD flowers in Europe:

Can butter be made with cannabis leaves instead of flowers?

It is better not to use leaves, but the flowers, because they have a higher concentration of cannabinoids, which will result in a more potent butter.

How should I store marijuana butter once it has been prepared?

Store the butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for longer storage.

Which type of marijuana is better to use, sativa or indica?

It depends on your preferences. Sativa tends to be more energizing, while indica is more relaxing. You can choose according to the effect you want to obtain, indica or sativa.

How long can marijuana butter last in good condition?

If stored properly in the refrigerator, it can last for several weeks. In the freezer, this butter keeps in good condition for several months.

Can I adjust the amount of marijuana to control the potency of the butter?

Yes, you can adjust the amount of marijuana according to your tolerance and preference, but do so carefully, with amounts similar to those seen in this recipe, to avoid too much potency and therefore unwanted effects.

Can I use a slow cooker to make butter?

Yes, a crockpot is an excellent choice for maintaining a constant, low temperature during preparation.

Can margarine be used instead of butter?

It is possible but not recommended, because the result is totally different, with a different taste and texture. In addition, most margarines contain very unstable fats, which are not suitable for heating or baking. You can follow the recipe substituting margarine for butter in the same proportions, using lower temperatures than with butter (margarine resists heat worse than butter), although it is generally not recommended because the result is not very good in terms of product stability and quality.

How to make vegan marijuana butter?

A good alternative to butter to make vegan marijuana butter is coconut oil, with a high percentage of saturated fats (which withstand heat well throughout the extraction process). The recipe is made as indicated here, substituting one fat for the other.

One point to keep in mind is that coconut oil is liquid at 24-25°C (75-75°F). This makes it difficult to separate from water when both are in the liquid phase. In addition, the density of coconut oil is close to that of water, which can slow down the separation process. And another point is that butter has phospholipids and other emulsifying molecules that facilitate its separation from water, which are not found in coconut. Therefore, compared to butter, you will need more hours of refrigeration to separate coconut oil from water.
