1. Creamy Cannabis Butter (2 ingredients!)

You use butter in many dishes. You can bake or fry with it. When using cannabis, you kill two birds with one stone. Each dish is given a new dimension, and it can be used in an infinite amount of dishes. As icing on the cake: vegan cannabis butter is possible with margarine.

The ingredients for cannabis butter: cannabis and butter.

Supplies

Ingredients:

  • 500 grams of cannabis *
  • About 15 to 20 grams of cannabis (depending on how strong you prefer your cannabis butter)

* For a vegan version, use 100% vegetable margarine.

Kitchen supplies:

  • Saucepan with lid
  • Sieve
  • Tray to store the cannabis butter

How Do You Make Cannabis Butter?

  1. Grind your weed. The finer, the better.
  2. Put the cannabis and butter in a saucepan, and slowly (!) bring it to boil.
  3. When it boils, let it simmer for about three hours, until the mixture has a green color from the cannabis. Stir well in between, so that it won't burn.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool down in temperature, and pour it through a sieve, so to remove the remaining plant material.
  5. Pour the mixture into a receptacle where you can easily scrape or scoop it out later.
  6. Put your cannabis butter in the refrigerator and let the cannabis butter stiffen for at least eight hours.

Tip: use a saucepan with a lid to simmer the butter and cannabis. This helps you to prevent spills, splashes and burns when the butter starts splashing.
