Section 2: How to Make CBD Butter Like a Pro

If you’re a fan of baking or cooking with cannabis, and you want to try to make your own CBD butter, then you’re in luck. Here, we’re going to give you a step-by-step guide on how to make CBD butter like a pro.

1. Gather Your Ingredients

Before you get started, you’ll need to make sure you have all of the necessary ingredients. You’ll need:

– 1 cup of butter
– 1 cup of water
– 1 gram of CBD isolate or 3-4 grams of CBD flower
– Cheesecloth
– Strainer
– Double boiler or slow cooker

2. Decarboxylate Your CBD Flower (Optional)

If you are using CBD flower instead of CBD isolate, you’ll need to decarboxylate it first. This process helps activate the CBD, making it more potent and effective. Preheat your oven to 240 degrees Fahrenheit and spread out your CBD flower evenly on a baking sheet. Bake it in the oven for 30-40 minutes.

3. Infuse the Butter with CBD

In a double boiler or slow cooker, melt the butter and add the water and CBD. Stir frequently and make sure that the heat is not too high, as you don’t want to burn the butter or CBD. Let it simmer for 2-3 hours.

4. Strain the Mixture

Once the mixture has been simmering for a few hours, strain it through a cheesecloth and strainer. This will remove any plant matter from the mixture, leaving you with pure CBD butter. Make sure to squeeze as much of the liquid out as possible.

5. Chill the CBD Butter

Once you’ve strained the mixture, let it cool to room temperature before placing it in the fridge. Let it cool and solidify for a few hours before using it.

6. Store Your CBD Butter

CBD butter can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month. Alternatively, you can store it in the freezer for up to six months.

7. Calculate Your Dosage

When making CBD butter, it’s important to know your dosage. Depending on the strength of your CBD isolate or flower, you’ll need to adjust the amount you use so that you don’t end up with too much CBD in your baked goods.

8. Experiment with Different Recipes

CBD butter is a versatile ingredient, and it can be used in a variety of recipes. From cookies to brownies, or even in your morning coffee, experiment with different ways of using CBD butter in your cooking or baking.

9. Consider Mixing CBD and THC

If you’re looking for a stronger effect, you can also mix CBD butter with THC-infused butter. This can be a great way to control your dosage and experience the benefits of both CBD and THC.

10. Don’t Overdo It

When it comes to cooking with CBD, it’s important to remember that less is often more. While CBD is generally safe and non-intoxicating, too much can have negative side effects. Don’t overdo it, and always start with a small dosage and gradually increase it until you achieve your desired effect.

By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to make your own CBD butter like a pro. Whether you’re a seasoned cannabis cook or just getting started, CBD butter is a great way to enjoy the benefits of CBD while also indulging in your favorite baked goods.

Ingredients Needed for Making CBD Butter

Making CBD butter is all about having the right ingredients and the right proportions. In this section, we’ll be discussing the ingredients that you’ll need to make CBD butter at home.

Cannabis

The first and most important ingredient for making CBD butter is cannabis. It’s essential that you use high-quality cannabis that’s been lab-tested for potency and purity. The type of cannabis you use will depend on the potency you’re looking for. Remember, using too little or too much cannabis can affect the potency of your CBD butter. The recommended amount is one ounce of cannabis per pound of butter.

Butter

Of course, you’ll also need butter to make CBD butter. You can use any type of butter you like, but we recommend using unsalted butter for best results. The quality of butter you use will affect the flavor and texture of your CBD butter, so don’t skimp on this ingredient.

CBD Extract

In order for your butter to be CBD-infused, you’ll need to use a CBD extract. You can use any type of CBD extract you like, but we recommend using a high-quality, full-spectrum CBD extract for best results. Be sure to follow the instructions for dosing carefully, as too much CBD extract can have unwanted side effects.

Salt

While this ingredient is optional, we recommend adding a pinch of salt to your CBD butter to enhance the flavor.

Water

Finally, you’ll need water to help keep your CBD butter from burning during the cooking process. Be sure to add enough water to cover the bottom of your cooking pot, but not so much that it dilutes the flavor of your CBD butter.

Now that you know what ingredients you’ll need to make CBD butter, it’s time to move on to the next section which will cover the step-by-step process of making your own CBD butter at home.
