Making your own Cannabis Butter is easier than you think!
To make cannabis-infused butter or coconut oil using a stovetop espresso maker, follow these steps:
​
-
Measure 1/2 cup of butter or coconut oil and place it in the bottom chamber of the espresso maker.
-
Add water to the chamber, filling it up to the "fill line."
-
Finely grind your cannabis. Be sure it’s been decarboxylated (activated through heat, such as by vaping).
-
Place the ground cannabis in the coffee funnel, packing it tightly.
-
Set the espresso maker on the stovetop at low-medium heat. Allow it to percolate slowly for 5–10 minutes. The lower heat will extend brewing time, allowing more THC to absorb into the oil.
-
Once the upper chamber is full, carefully pour the infused mixture into a tempered glass jar and place it in the fridge.
-
After 30 minutes to an hour, the butter or oil will solidify, separating from the water. Poke a small hole in the solidified oil layer, and drain the water.
Your infused butter or oil is now ready to use in baking recipes or as a spread. Start with a small dose to test the potency, and wait at least one hour before considering more.
