Yo, Sid here. Just whipped up a batch of this fresh basil pesto with some of my infused olive oil, and man, it is a game-changer for pasta night or just spreading on some crusty bread. **Ingredients:** * 2 cups fresh basil leaves (packed) * 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese * 1/3 cup pine nuts (toasted) * 3 garlic cloves * 1/2 cup infused olive oil (recipe below) * Pinch of salt and pepper **Steps:** 1. **Decarb first:** Don't skip this or it won't work. Spread 7-10g of ground raw flower on a lined baking sheet and bake at 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes. This converts the non-psychoactive THCA into active THC. 2. **Infuse the oil:** THC is fat-soluble (not water-soluble), so you need a carrier fat like olive oil to extract it. Simmer 1 cup of olive oil with your decarbed flower on low heat (160–200°F / 70–95°C) for 2–4 hours, stirring occasionally. Strain it through a cheesecloth. 3. **Blend the pesto:** Throw the basil, Parmesan, toasted pine nuts, garlic, and a pinch of salt/pepper into a food processor. Pulse a few times. 4. **Emulsify:** Slow-pour 1/2 cup of your infused oil (save the rest for later!) while pulsing until it's smooth and green. Keep in mind, edibles take 30–90 minutes to kick in since they process through your liver. Start low and go slow—5–10mg of THC is plenty for a single serving if you're new to this. Label your jar clearly and keep it away from kids and pets! Enjoy!
