Equipment

  • Double boiler

Ingredients

  • 1/4 ounce decarboxylated cannabis
  • 1 cup coconut oil

Instructions

  • Fill the bottom pan of a double boiler with about an inch of water, and place over low heat. You want a gentle simmer, not quite a boil.
  • Set the shallow pan on top, or create your own double boiler by stacking a metal or glass bowl on top of a sauce pan. Make sure the bowl fits snugly and that the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl.
  • Add cannabis and coconut oil to the top pan or bowl and cook for 90 minutes.
  • Stir about every 15 minutes, and check the water level in the bottom pan.
  • After 90 minutes, strain your coconut oil using a piece of cheese cloth over a fine mesh sieve. Squeeze out any remaining oil by pressing with a spoon or spatula, and if it's cool enough, by hand.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

1/4 ounce of cannabis to 1 cup of coconut oil is a good ration to start with, but this can be adjusted for your desired strength. If you're infusing butter, try 1/2 ounce of cannabis to 1 cup of butter.
