Cannabis Butter
Butter and coconut oil are versatile carriers for THC, CBD and other cannabinoids. Our favorite method to maximize potency with less time is to use vacuum sealing with LidAdapt and a double boiler water bath.

JAR SIZE: 16 or 32 oz wide mouth mason jar (32 oz jar better for double recipe)
INFUSION TIME: 1 hour
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup (240mL) oil (butter, coconut oil, MCT coconut oil or olive oil)
- 1/4 oz (7g) ground cannabis flower, decarboxylated
TECHNIQUE:
- Decarboxylate cannabis flower. Preheat over to 220°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. De-stem/tear cannabis flower into smaller pieces and place onto parchment paper. Cover with foil. Place into oven for 45 minutes. Stir/rotate cannabis with wood spoon/spatula every 15 minutes.
- Grind decarboxylated cannabis flower in coffee grinder.
- Combine butter or oil and cannabis flower in jar. Wipe jar rim clean/dry, apply LidAdapt on top of jar, screw on metal band, insert stopper & pump to pull a vacuum seal.
- Add about an inch of water to saucepan and place on low-medium heat. Place jar in double boiler water bath and simmer for 1 hour.
- Every 15 minutes check water level to make sure it doesn’t evaporate (add more if you need it).
- After 1 hour, remove jar from heat and place on counter. Release stopper valve and let cool.
- Remove stopper and with LidAdapt still on, pour the contents into a fine metal mesh strainer or cheese cloth into another jar (we recommend an amber jar that blocks 99% UV light). Compost remaining flower material.
- To store, vacuum seal with LidAdapt and keep in fridge.
