WHAT IS CANNABUTTER?

Weed butter, also known as cannabisbutter, is a versatile and popular ingredient in the world of edibles (edible cannabis products). It is made by infusing cannabis in butter, which releases the psychoactive components such as THC and CBD and absorbs them into the fat. This process results in a butter that differs from regular butter in both taste and effect. cannabisbutter is often used in various recipes to make edible cannabis products or cannabis food that can be used both recreationally and medicinally.

How to make your own cannabisbutter?

Making cannabisbutter is a fairly simple process that requires some time and care. Here is a step-by-step guide to making your own cannabisbutter:

Supplies:

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup of water
• 7-10 grams of cannabis (dried and finely chopped)
• Fine sieve or cheesecloth
• Jar for storage

Steps:

1. Decarboxylating the Cannabis:

   • Preheat your oven to 115°C.
   • Spread the finely ground cannabis evenly on a baking tray covered with baking paper.
   • Bake the cannabis for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. This process, known as decarboxylation, activates the THC in the cannabis.

2. Melt the Butter:

   • Melt the butter along with the water in a saucepan over low heat. The water helps regulate the temperature and prevents the butter from burning.

3. Adding the Cannabis:

   • Add the decarboxylated cannabis to the melted butter.
   • Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent the cannabis from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

4. Sieve the Mixture:

   • Pour the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl to remove the solid parts of the cannabis.
   • Press on the solids with a spoon to squeeze out as much butter as possible.

5. Cool and Store:

   • Let the cannabisbutter cool to room temperature before placing it in an airtight container in the fridge.
   • You can also freeze the cannabisbutter for longer storage.

Think this is too complicated?

There is also an alternative method of making cannabisbutter. The POT BY NOIDS Herbcooker is an all-in-one device from the Netherlands that allows you to easily prepare cannabis oil, cannabisbutter, edibles and other cannabis products without having to go through many of the steps mentioned above.

How do you store cannabisbutter?

Storing butter correctly is essential to maintain its freshness and potency. Here are some tips for storing your cannabisbutter:

Refrigerator:

• Store the cannabisbutter in an airtight container in the fridge. This helps to keep the butter fresh and avoid absorbing odours from other foods.
• Weed butter can stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Freezer:

• For longer storage, you can keep cannabisbutter in the freezer. Use a freezer-proof container or divide the butter into portions and wrap them in plastic wrap.
• Frozen cannabisbutter can last up to 6 months or more without losing quality.

Protection from light:

• Store the butter in a dark container or wrap the container in aluminium foil to minimise light exposure. Light can reduce the potency of the THC and other cannabinoids.
