How to Make Cannabutter (COCONUT OIL or BUTTER) + TIPS for High Potency
Written by thcscout on . Posted in Baking. No Comments on How to Make Cannabutter (COCONUT OIL or BUTTER) + TIPS for High Potency
Coconut Oil I use – https://amzn.to/2VYc8n1
Ratio is 1:1 = 1 cup Butter (or Coconut Oil) : 1 cup Water
You will need:
Cannabis (decarbed) – amount varies depending on desired potency
Baking Sheet + parchment paper or non stick silicone sheet
Sauce pan (one with a heavy bottom is preferred but not necessary)
Candy thermometer (not necessary but useful)
Wide mouth Mason Jar + Rubber Band
Pillowcase or cheese cloth
Step 1
Decarb Cannabis to release its psychoactive and medicinal properties by making THC and CBD more bioavailable to you.
Preheat oven to 240°F and place cannabis buds on baking sheet evenly dispersed. Bake for 30 minutes then remove from oven and break apart buds to increase surface area for better infusion.
Step 2
Add oil and water to sauce pan and turn burner on to lowest possible setting. Place candy thermometer into mixture. ***Do not exceed 200°F. Once the oil has melted into the water add cannabis and stir.
**this can be done without a candy thermometer. Just make sure the mixture does not start a full rolling boil (when the bubbles are rapidly breaking the surface). A few little bubbles are fine and indicate it’s around 200°F. Just make sure your stove element is on its lowest possible setting.
You will have to keep an eye on your butter as it will be on the stove top for 2-3 hours. Most if not all the water should be boiled off by 2-3 hours.
Once oil has completed its time on the stove stop strain mixture into a jar using a pillowcase or cheese cloth with an elastic band.
Once the mixture has been strained you can pour it into a more accessible container. Place it in the fridge for a few hours until the butter has become solid. At this point you can drain any excess water and use the cannabutter in your baking! Enjoy

Decarboxylation of Cannabis Recipe – Time & Temp Explained for Great Results

There’s lots of recipes on the web, we explain why we do it the way we do it to optimize your conversion of THCA into THC. Too much heat is just as bad as too little, so measuring temperature is the first step to success. Decarboxylation is a science, and a little know-how applied to your next run will surly maximize the yield of your conversions.
I’ve made /many/ medicated candies using this time and temperature recipe, and I’m always looking for improvements. Checkout the link to a scientific journal that calls for 110 degrees C for 110 minutes to optimize THCA conversion. I’m going to prioritize trying out this alternative recipe for decarbing and will post updates soon! thanks!
