Marijuana Butter Recipe

 

Ingredients and supplies for Ganja butter

• A double boiler or two sauce pans (just make sure the smaller upper saucepan fits well enough to nestle within the larger lower one).
• Wooden spoon
• Large mixing bowl
• Cheese cloth
• Rubber band
• Lidded Container
• Grinder
• 1 pound of butter—Do not use margarine it wont work you need the fat in butter.
• 1 ounce of high-grade cannabis, stems and seeds removed. If you use low grade weed , be aware you will have low grade butter.

Method

1. Remove all stems and seeds from the nugs of weed(or shake, if that's what you're using). Grind the entire ounce and set it aside in the large mixing bowl.
2. Fill the lower chamber of the double boiler with 3-4 cups of water and set over medium-high heat. Seat the upper chamber on top of the lower section and add the pound of butter.
3. Heat the butter until it fully melts then reduce heat to simmer.
4. Pour the oz of ground cannabis into the upper chamber and mix well with the wooden spoon. Allow the mixture to continue to simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring regularly, until the liquefied butter turns green. While the butter is infusing, wipe out the large mixing bowl that held the cannabis. Next stretch your piece of cheese cloth across the rim and secure it with a rubber band.
5. Once the butter has been sufficiently infused, remove from heat and gently pour the contents of the pan over the cheese cloth to strain. As the rate of butter flow slows, carefully lift the edges of the cheese cloth from the rim of the bowl to create a ball of processed, buttery weed. Hold the ball against the side of the mixing bowl and gently press out any remaining butter using the mixing spoon.
6. Pour the butter from the mixing bowl into a lidded container. Cover and refrigerate overnight until the butter firms.
7. As the butter cools and solidifies, the oils will separate from waste water. Discard the excess water before using the butter.
