Equipment
-
Either a Double-Boiler, Slow Cooker, or Saucepan
-
Oven
-
Baking Tray
-
Parchment Paper
-
Grinder or Scissors
-
Cheesecloth or Strainer
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Ground Cannabis Flower *Decarboxylated
- 1 Cup Cooking Oil *Olive and Coconut Oil are most common
Instructions
-
Grind up the cannabis. Preferably grind up the flower/bud as it’s the most potent and will get you a more accurate measurement, but you can include the whole plant. Make sure that it is large enough to not fall through the cloth/strainer. Anything fine enough will end up in the final product.
-
Decarboxylate your cannabis by spreading the cannabis evenly on a baking tray and putting it in the oven for 45 minutes at 240 degrees Fahrenheit. (If you are using trichomes/kief scroll down to image at bottom)
-
With the cheesecloth wrap the ground cannabis and tie it together.
-
Add oil and cannabis into either a slow cooker, double-boiler, or saucepan. For a slow cooker cook on low for 4-6 hours, and stirring it occasionally. Using a double-boiler, cook on low for 6-8 hours ( 8 hours is recommended), and stirring occasionally. Finally using a saucepan, cook on low for 3 hours and stir it frequently, as the saucepan is susceptible to scorching..
Tip* You can add a bit of water to the mixture to help prevent burning.Note: The temperature of the oil should not exceed 240 F no matter which method is used.
-
Strain and capture the oil. If using a cheesecloth do not squeeze, this adds more unnecessary chlorophyll to the oil. Leftover plant materials can be discarded.
-
Finished ! The oils shelf life is at least 2 months! And can be extended by keeping it refrigerated.
