How to Make CannaButter

This recipe uses the cuttings that are closest to the bud, also known as the sugar leaves. They are often covered in trichomes (resin) from the bud. These leaves contain a basic amount of cannabinoids. If you want stronger butter, you can add some bud. THC is fat-soluble, so it’s perfect for making cannabutter. The cutting should be cut up as much as possible. Please ensure your cannabis is decarbonized.

REQUIREMENTS

1 cup of cuttings
1 lb. ( 454 grams) of butter
1 cheesecloth bag
1 medium-sized saucepan
Rubber gloves
Sifter
Jar or muffin tin (6)
Preparation Time: 2 hours

DIRECTIONS

Measure out one cup of cuttings
Put cuttings in cheese cloth bag. You can put the cuttings directly into the butter, but you will have to sift the pieces out.
Tie bag with clippings and set aside.
Turn on burner very low. In a medium sauce pan, melt better
You want enough butter to cover the cheese cloth bag with the cuttings. Around one inch.
Place bag in the butter with the draw string place up and over the side. Use a spoon to tamp down the bag into the butter so it is submerged.
Do not boil, it will burn the butter.
Ensure the burner is on low and let simmer from 1.5 to 2 hours. Check often and tamp down the bag.
When ready put on rubber gloves, with one hand hold the pull string, and with the other squeeze butter out of bag into the sauce pan.
Be careful, as the butter is hot.
There may be cuttings in the butter that came out the bag, this is okay as you will strain the butter.
You can pour the butter direct into mason jar, or use 6 unit muffin tin pan. Each muffin tin hold 1/3 cup of butter which is exactly what many brownie and cookie recipes call for.
Place a strainer over the muffin tin and pour butter into the tin.
Let cool, and you can also put into the freezer.
With a paring knife, insert and pop out the butter.
You can freeze individually or in one bag to use later.

Clean up

The cuttings can put in the garbage. Boil the cheesecloth bag in water to get out the rest of the cuttings.

To Make Brownies, the easy way!

Select your favourite off-the-shelf Brownie Mix
Follow the directions on the box (or bag)
Instead of adding oil or butter, use one of your muffin tin size cannabutter. Melt in the microwave in a small bowl on low. When melted substitute the cannabutter which equal 1/3 cup of oil, to your brownie mix.
