Decarboxylation Guide for This Recipe
Batch size shown: 1 pound of butter = ~1,800–2,200 mg total active THC (perfect for big baking days)
1. Heat oven to 240 °F.
2. Take 1 ounce (28 g) of good flower (20–25 % THC is ideal). Break it up by hand or pulse in a grinder until it looks like coarse oregano.
3. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake 40 minutes exactly. Shake the pan gently at the 20-minute mark.
5. Pull it out and let it cool completely on the tray (at least 45 minutes). Color should be medium-brown and smell like toasted nuts.
Infusion Guide – Perfect Canna-Butter (1 pound batch)
1. Grab a heavy-bottom pot and melt 4 sticks (1 pound) of unsalted butter on the lowest heat possible.
2. Add all your cooled decarbed weed (still in the parchment if you want, just dump it in).
3. Keep the temperature between 160–190 °F for exactly 3 hours. Use a cheap clip-on candy thermometer – never let it get above 200 °F or you’ll cook off the good stuff.
4. Stir every 30 minutes with a silicone spatula.
5. After 3 hours, turn off the heat and let it sit 15 minutes.
6. Set a fine mesh strainer over a big measuring bowl and line it with cheesecloth. Pour everything through and let it drain.
7. Grab the corners of the cheesecloth and squeeze like you’re mad at it – get every last drop.
8. Pour the butter into a clean glass jar or container.
9. Chill in the fridge overnight. The butter will solidify on top and any water/milk solids will sink to the bottom.
10. Run a knife around the edge the next morning, lift out the solid puck of pure golden canna-butter, and scrape off any leftover gunk on the bottom.
11. You now have 1 pound (≈ 1¾ cups) of the cleanest, strongest canna-butter on the planet.
