We're going back to the basics! It's easy to infuse cannabis into your butters, fats, and oils with the sous vide technique. Once sealed in a mason jar, they can even be cooked in the same sous vide water bath because the cook time and temperature is the same. This technique is simple and discreet--no smell!
Sous Vide Cannabis-Infused Butter
Makes 8 oz
Ingredients:
• 8 oz unsalted butter, melted
• 4-7 g cannabis flower (you can add more or less depending on the desired potency)
Directions:
1. Roughly crumble your cannabis flower and decarb to activate the THC.
2. Pour melted butter into a quart-sized freezer-safe zip bag or mason jar.
3. Add decarbed cannabis into the bag of oil. Push the air out and seal the bag. If using a mason jar, seal the far finger tight.
4. Set your sous vide water bath to 85ºC (185ºF).
5. Once the sous vide water bath has reached its temp, submerge the bag or mason jar in the water bath.
6. Sous vide for 4 hours. Remove from water bath and strain. Discard the flower and allow the infused butter to cool. Store in the refrigerator.
*Note: The amount of cannabis butter specified in this recipe is a very loose suggestion; the actual amount you use should be modified based on the strength of your butter and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so the best way to test for potency is to start with one portion of a serving, in this case, one teaspoon, and wait one to two hours, then make an informed decision on whether to consume more. Always dose carefully and listen to your body, and never drive under the influence of cannabis.
