Equipment
- Saucepan
- Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
- Funnel
- Glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1/8 ounce (3.5 grams) cannabis flower, finely ground
Instructions
- Decarboxylate the cannabis: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread the finely ground cannabis evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cannabis is lightly toasted and golden brown. This step activates the THC in the cannabis for optimal potency.
- Infuse the olive oil: In a saucepan, combine the olive oil and decarboxylated cannabis. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 hours. Be careful not to let the mixture boil or simmer, as this can degrade the cannabinoids.
- Strain the oil: After the infusion period, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oil cool slightly. Place a piece of cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer over a glass jar or bottle. Carefully pour the infused oil through the cheesecloth or strainer to strain out the plant material. Squeeze or press the cheesecloth to extract as much oil as possible.
- Store the infused oil: Once strained, discard the plant material and seal the jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Store the cannabis-infused olive oil in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, the oil can last for several weeks to months.
Notes
- Adjust the dosage of cannabis according to personal preference and tolerance. A higher ratio of cannabis to oil will result in a stronger infusion.
- Use caution when consuming cannabis-infused olive oil and be mindful of the potency. Start with a small amount and wait at least 1-2 hours before consuming more to gauge the effects.
- Cannabis-infused olive oil can be used in cooking, baking, salad dressings, and other culinary applications. Be creative and experiment with different recipes!
