Yo, Sid here. Just whipped up a batch of infused olive oil and honestly, it’s the ultimate kitchen cheat code for drizzling on focaccia, tossing with pasta, or mixing into a killer salad dressing.
Here’s how to make it:
**Ingredients:**
* 7 to 10 grams of your favorite cannabis flower (coarsely ground)
* 1 cup of high-quality extra virgin olive oil (or any carrier fat, since THC and CBD are fat-soluble and won't bind to water)
* Optional: A pinch of dried rosemary or garlic cloves (just make sure they're fully dry to avoid mold)
**Steps:**
1. **Decarb first:** Don't skip this or you won't get active THC. Spread your ground flower on a lined baking sheet and bake at 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes. Your kitchen will smell amazing.
2. **Combine:** Put your decarbed flower and olive oil into a double boiler or a heavy saucepan.
3. **Simmer:** Keep it on low heat between 160–200°F (70–95°C) for 2–4 hours. Stir it occasionally. Keep it low so you don't burn the cannabinoids.
4. **Strain:** Let it cool slightly, then strain it through a cheesecloth into a clean glass jar. Don't squeeze the cloth too hard or you'll get excess chlorophyll (grassy taste).
Word of advice: label your jar clearly and keep it away from kids/pets. If you're new to this, start super low—around 5–10mg of THC is a solid starting dose. And seriously, wait at least 30–90 minutes before having more. Edibles process through your liver, so the delay is real! Enjoy! — Internet of Pot
