BEURRE DE MARRAKECH: THE TRADITIONAL CANNABIS BUTTER

Beurre de Marrakech, also known as Moroccan hashish butter, is a traditional form of edibles that originated in Morocco. This special butter is made by infusing cannabis (usually hash) with butter, creating a potent base for various dishes and pastries. In this blog, we take a closer look at what beurre de Marrakech is, how to make it and how it can be used.

What is Beurre de Marrakech?

Beurre de Marrakech is a form of cannabis butter popular in Moroccan cuisine. It combines the rich flavour of butter with the psychoactive effects of cannabis. This cannabis butter is often used as a base for various edibles, such as biscuits, brownies, space cake and other pastries, but can also be used simply as a spread. Here are some key points about which parts of the cannabis plant are used:

Used Parts of the Cannabis Plant:

1. Cannabis flowers (Buds): For the highest quality and strongest effects, the female cannabis flowers, also known as "buds", are usually used. These contain the most cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD.
2. Small leaves (Sugar leaves): The small leaves surrounding the flowers, which are often covered in trichomes, can also be used. These are often called "sugar leaves" because of their high concentration of resin.
3. Waste material: Although less potent, larger leaves, male plants and stems can also be used. However, this will result in a less potent butter with a more bitter taste
   
   

How do you make Beurre de Marrakech?

Making beurre de Marrakech is a simple process that requires a few basic steps. Here's an overview:

1. Gather ingredients: You will need butter, hash or chopped cannabis and water.
2. Heat butter and water: Melt the butter in a pan together with water. The water helps regulate the temperature and prevents the butter from burning.
3. Adding cannabis: Add the crumbled hashish or finely chopped cannabis to the melted butter. Stir well to mix everything well.
4. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer on low heat for several hours (usually 2-3 hours). This process allows the THC and other cannabinoids to dissolve in the fats of the butter.
5. Cool and strain: After simmering, let the mixture cool and strain it to remove the vegetable residues. What remains is a powerful, green beurre de Marrakech.
