Ingredients
- 1 cup of ground cannabis nugs (approximately 7-10 grams)
- 1 cup of coconut oil
Materials
- Double-Boiler
- Cheesecloth
- Ooze Grinder
Directions
- Start by gently grinding your nugs, ensuring they do not become a fine powder. You'll want to strain them from the final product later.
- Next, combine the coconut oil and cannabis in your double boiler. Maintain a low temperature for approximately 6 hours and keep the heat below 245°F to initiate the decarboxylation process.
- Once infused, strain out all the ground nugs and enjoy your homemade cannabis oil, perfect for making edibles for Valentine's Day. Store in a temperate and dry environment.
What Is the Best Oil to Use for Edibles?
When making any weed desserts, coconut oil is arguably the best option for cannabis infusion. Using coconut oil is more effective than regular butter because it has a super high-fat content, which is excellent for cannabinoid retention. It is also vegan, making it a more versatile option when baking for others.
