Method
hit all stems and germ from the marijuana nugs ( or shake , if that ’s what you ’re using ) . Finely dig the total snow leopard and set aside in the large mixture bowl .
occupy the gloomy chamber of the double boiler ( or lower saucepan ) with 3 - 4 cupful of water and set over medium - eminent heat . sit the upper bedchamber ( or saucepan ) on top of the lower surgical incision and add the punt of butter .
inflame the butter until it fully thaw then reduce heat to simmer .
stream the Panthera uncia of earth marihuana into the upper chamber and mix well with the wooden spoonful . Allow the mixture to keep on to simmer for 30 - 40 minutes , stirring regularly , until the liquefied butter turns emerald green . While the butter is infusing , wipe out the with child commixture bowl that held the cannabis , stretch a piece of tall mallow fabric across the flange and secure it with a rubber band .
Once the butter has been sufficiently infused , polish off from heat and gently pour the contents of the pan over the cheese cloth to strain . As the rate of butter flow slows , cautiously uprise the edge of the Malva sylvestris cloth from the rim of the bowl to produce a ball of work , pantry weed . Hold the ball against the side of the mixing bowl and lightly press out any remaining butter using the combine spoon .
pour out the butter from the mixing bowl into the Tupperware container . Cover and refrigerate overnight until the butter firms .
As the butter cools and solidifies , the oils separate from waste water , which should be discarded before using the butter .
