With its tropical flavors, this infused oil adds a unique twist to your favorite dishes. Whether you’re looking to make sweet treats or savory meals, cannabis-infused coconut oil can enhance your culinary creations.
To make cannabis-infused coconut oil, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 cup of coconut oil
– 1 cup of ground cannabis flower (decarboxylated)*
Instructions:
1. In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat until it becomes a liquid.
2. Add the ground cannabis flower to the melted coconut oil and stir well. Make sure all the cannabis is fully coated with oil.
3. Simmer the mixture on low heat for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
4. After the simmering time, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
5. Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer into a clean container. Squeeze out as much oil as possible.
6. Discard the leftover cannabis plant material, as it has already released its cannabinoids into the oil.
7. Store the infused coconut oil in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It can be kept for several months.
