Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup ground cannabis (decarboxylated)
- Cheesecloth
- Cooking thermometer
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread your ground cannabis evenly on a baking sheet, and bake it for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. This process is called decarboxylation, which activates the THC in the cannabis.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the coconut oil on low heat. Once it's melted, add the decarboxylated cannabis and stir it in.
- Simmer the mixture on low heat for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally. Use a cooking thermometer to make sure the temperature stays between 160-200°F (71-93°C). This will help to prevent the oil from burning or becoming too hot.
- After 3-4 hours, remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth, and strain the mixture through the cheesecloth into a clean container. Squeeze the cheesecloth to get as much oil out as possible.
- Store the cannabis-infused coconut oil in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to use it. It should keep for a few weeks in the fridge, or several months in the freezer.
Note: The potency of your cannabis-infused coconut oil will depend on the strength of your cannabis and how much you use. It's best to start with a small amount and gradually increase until you find the dosage that works for you. And remember to label your container clearly, so you don't accidentally consume it like regular coconut oil!
