Homemade Cannabutter for Baking

This foolproof cannabutter recipe is your golden ticket to infused treats—smooth, potent, and perfect for cookies, brownies, and more.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 7–10 grams decarboxylated cannabis flower (adjust for potency preference)
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions:

1. Decarb your cannabis: Preheat oven to 240°F. Spread cannabis evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, stirring once halfway, until lightly toasted and fragrant.
2. Infuse the butter: In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter with 1/2 cup water over low heat. Add decarboxylated cannabis and simmer uncovered for 2.5–3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is deep green and slightly thickened (never let it boil).
3. Strain and chill: Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and pour the mixture into a glass jar, pressing the cannabis gently to extract all the butter. Discard the plant material. Refrigerate for 2 hours until solid, then drain any separated water.

The slow infusion creates a velvety, evenly potent butter that won’t overpower your baked goods—just swap it 1:1 in recipes calling for regular butter.

Tip: Label your jar clearly and store it in the fridge for up to 2 months (or freeze for 6 months). A little goes a long way!
