Recipe for Cannabis Cooking Oil
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of ground flower (7 -14 grams)
- 1 cup of cooking oil of your choice (coconut or Olive oil)
What You Will Need:
- Strainer or cheesecloth- (Cheesecloth works best)
- Grinder- If you have a lot of cannabis to grind up, we suggest using a blender, for it will save a lot of time. (its ok if there are stems in your ground up weed)
- Double-boiler, slow cooker, saucepan,
Directions:
- Grind the cannabis. Include the entire plant, stems seeds and all. Try to use fresh weed so it does not grind into a fine powder.
- Combine oil and cannabis in your slow cooker (crockpot) and heat the two together on LOW for 6-8 hours. During this step, the decarboxylation process happens which activates the THC without burning the plant. Note: whatever method you choose, the temperature of the oil should not exceed 245°F.
- Strain and store the oil. If you use a cheesecloth; do not squeeze it, just discard the remaining plant matter.
