🍴🌿 Want to add some extra “spice” to your cooking? Look no further than cannabis-infused olive oil! 🌿🍴
👩🍳 Not only is it a healthier option than butter, but it’s also great for stoners who want to avoid the distinctive taste and smell of traditional cannabis-infused butter. Plus, you can use it in any recipe that calls for olive oil! 🥗
👨🍳 Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 ounce of decarboxylated cannabis (approximately 14 grams)
- Cheesecloth Strainer
- Mason jar or airtight container
👉 Step 1: Decarboxylate the Cannabis First things first, you need to activate the THC and other cannabinoids in your cannabis. Preheat your oven to 240°F and bake your cannabis on a baking sheet for 30-40 minutes. Once it’s cooled, grind it into a fine powder.
👉 Step 2: Infuse the Olive Oil In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil on low heat. Add your finely ground cannabis and stir. Let it simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. The oil should turn a greenish-brown color as it infuses with the cannabis. 🌿
👉 Step 3: Strain the Mixture After simmering, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth and a strainer to remove any solids. Make sure you squeeze the cheesecloth to get as much oil as possible. We don’t want any solid particles left in the oil, as they can be harmful if ingested. 😬
👉 Step 4: Store the Oil Once your oil has cooled, transfer it to a mason jar or airtight container. Be sure to label it with the date and the strength of the oil. You can store it in a cool, dark place for up to 2 months. 🕰️
👩🍳 Now it’s time to get cooking! Use your cannabis-infused olive oil in any recipe that calls for olive oil, such as salad dressings, marinades, and sautéed vegetables. Just be sure to start with a small amount and wait at least an hour before consuming more. The potency of the oil will vary depending on the strength of the cannabis used. 🌟
👉 So there you have it, stoners! A simple and fun way to add cannabis to your cooking. Just remember to always be cautious and follow the laws and regulations in your area. Happy cooking! 😋👨🍳👩🍳
