📦 Ingredients
🧈 For the Canna Butter
- 🌿 1/2 ounce (14 grams) decarboxylated cannabis – finely ground
- 🧈 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 💧 1 cup water – (if using the stovetop method to prevent burning)
🧰 Equipment
- 🫙 Pint Mason jars with lids and rings
- 🍲 Large pot (for water bath)
- 🧀 Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
💡 Pro tip: "You MUST decarboxylate your cannabis first. Bake it on a sheet pan at 240°F for 40 minutes before infusing it into the butter."
📝 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Decarboxylate
- Preheat your oven to 240°F.
- Break up your cannabis and spread it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 40 minutes. This activates the THC. (This is the only step that will smell a bit).
- Remove and let cool. Grind finely.
Step 2 – The Jar Method (Odorless)
- Place the butter into a pint Mason jar.
- Add the decarboxylated cannabis to the jar.
- Seal the jar tightly with a lid and ring (finger-tight).
- Place the jar in a large pot of water on the stove.
- Bring the water to a gentle simmer (around 160°F - 180°F).
- Let the jar sit in the simmering water for 2 to 3 hours, shaking the jar gently every 30 minutes.
⚠️ Important: "Make sure the water level in the pot is high enough to cover the butter mixture in the jar. Never let the pot boil dry!"
Step 3 – Strain
- Carefully remove the hot jar from the water.
- Let it cool slightly until it's safe to handle.
- Line a bowl with cheesecloth.
- Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth.
- Squeeze the cheesecloth to get all that precious infused butter out.
Step 4 – Set and Store
- Pour the strained butter into a mold or a small container.
- Refrigerate until solid.
- Store in the fridge for up to a month, or freeze for up to 6 months.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Why do I have to decarboxylate?
Raw cannabis contains THCA, which is not psychoactive. Heating it (decarboxylation) converts it to THC, which is what gives you the effects.
❓ Can I use salted butter?
It's better to use unsalted butter so you can control the taste of whatever you bake with it. You can always add salt later.
❓ How strong is this butter?
It depends entirely on the potency of your starting flower. If you use 14g of high-quality cannabis to 1 cup of butter, it will be quite strong. Start small when dosing.
❓ Is the jar method really odorless?
It's virtually odorless during the infusion process because the jar is sealed. The only time it will smell is during the initial decarboxylation in the oven.
❓ What can I make with canna butter?
Anything that calls for butter! Cookies, brownies, cakes, or even spreading it on toast.
