Yo, Sid here. Honestly, if you want to make anything decent in the edible world, you gotta start here. This classic cannabutter is the absolute foundation for everything I cook—once you have a jar of this in your fridge, you're set. Ingredients: * 7 to 10 grams of your favorite flower (coarsely ground) * 1 cup of unsalted butter (or coconut oil if you prefer) * 1 cup of water (helps regulate temp and keeps the butter from burning) Steps: 1. Decarb first: Don't skip this or you're wasting your bud. Spread your ground 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. Melt and mix: In a saucepan on low, melt your butter with the water. THC and CBD are fat-soluble, not water-soluble, so we need that carrier fat to actually extract the good stuff. Plain water won't cut it. 3. Simmer: Add your decarbed flower. Keep it on low heat (160–200°F / 70–95°C) and let it simmer for 2–4 hours, stirring occasionally. 4. Strain: Pour the mixture through cheesecloth into a jar. Don’t squeeze the cloth too hard or you’ll get excess chlorophyll (grassy taste). Let it cool, then separate and discard the water layer. Just a heads up: edibles take 30–90 mins to kick in because they go through your liver. Start low with about 5–10mg of THC per serving, wait it out before taking more, and label your jar clearly so roommates or pets don't mistake it for regular butter!
