Tips for Making Edibles at Home

Making Homemade Edibles

How to Make Cannaoil

Making and Storing Cannaoil
Prep Time: 2.5 HoursYield 1 Cup
Of course, butter is not the only fat used in cooking. You can just as easily infuse your favorite oil with all the above forms of cannabis to create cannaoil. Then, just swap out the oil in any recipe for your quality, homemade cannaoil to create custom edibles. Here’s how to do it.  

Ingredients

  • 7 g decarbed flower OR 3.5 g hash OR 3.5 to 4 g RSO (or more, depending on the dose you desire)
  • 1 c high-quality coconut or olive oil
 

Directions

  • Combine oil and cannabis derivatives into a heat-safe glass jar such as a heat-rated Mason jar.
  • Place the jar into a pot of room-temperature water. The water in the pot should surround the jar with the water line just above the oil line.
  • So as not to break the glass, slowly bring the water to a boil. Boil on medium heat, uncovered (both the pot and the jar), for two hours while monitoring closely.
  • As the water level boils off, refill to maintain the water line just above the oil line.
  • Turn the heat off and let the mixture cool a bit before straining it through cheesecloth into a dark-walled glass container and seal tightly with a lid.

How to Make Canahoney with Decarbed Flower or Cannabis Concentrate

Cannahoney Recipe
Prep Time: 20 MinutesYield 2 Cups
The choice of whether to use cannabis flower or concentrates to create your cannahoney will depend on your opinion regarding the cannahoney conundrum described above. If you do not want the flower particles in your finished product, but you want a stronger cannabis honey that retains its natural benefits, it is recommended you use RSO.  

Ingredients

  • 2 c your choice of honey
  • 7 g finely ground decarbed flower OR 2 mL RSO (or other desired dose)

Directions

  • Prep a double boiler using two pans. Boil around two cups of water in the bottom pan on high heat.
  • Turn the heat off and add another pan on top of the pan with the boiling water. Add the honey to the top pan.
  • Once the honey warms up and thins out to a more liquid state, add the cannabis flower or the concentrate to the warmed honey and whisk well for a few minutes.
  • Finally, pour your honey into an airtight container to store in a cool, dry place for up to six months.
  • To ensure consistent dosing, make sure you stir the honey very well before every use because some separation will occur.
