Equipment
- Oven
- Baking sheet
- Aluminum foil
- Herb grinder or food processor
- Double boiler or saucepan
- Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
- Glass jar or bottle for storage
Ingredients
- 1 cup of your preferred cooking oil
- 7-10 grams of decarboxylated cannabis flower
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spread the decarboxylated cannabis evenly on the sheet
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cannabis for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes dry and crumbly. This process activates the cannabinoids in the cannabis for optimal potency
- Once the cannabis is decarboxylated, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Grind the cannabis using an herb grinder or food processor until it becomes a coarse powder
- In a double boiler or saucepan, heat the cooking oil over low heat until warm but not boiling
- Add the ground cannabis to the warm oil and stir to combine thoroughly. Allow the mixture to simmer gently over low heat for 2-4 hours, stirring occasionally
- After simmering, remove the oil from the heat and let it 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/strainer to remove the plant material
- Squeeze or press the cheesecloth to extract any remaining oil from the cannabis
- Seal the jar or bottle tightly and store the cannabis-infused cooking oil in a cool, dark place until ready to use
Notes
- Dosage may vary depending on the potency of the cannabis used and individual tolerance. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
- Use caution when handling and storing cannabis-infused oil to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.
- Label the infused oil clearly and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
- Experiment with different oils and strains of cannabis to customize the flavor and effects of your infused oil.
