Karmas Perfect Cannabutter

KarmasPayment · 10-14-2003, 06:02 PM

Okay I know threads like this have been posted. But for everyone out there I thought I would show the best (in my opinion) method for making Cannabutter. I do not have any pictures of the process right now... But will try and get some for the future. All and all it is real easy and does not really require pictures. If you follow this method to the letter you will have the best tasting brownies you have ever had in your life. And being I have made over 50 batches of brownies and worked out every method possible, you can trust my experience.

KarmasPayment's Perfect Cannabutter

WHAT YOU NEED
2 Sticks of Margarine
1 Box of Brownies
1 Cheese Cloth package (available at all supermarkets)
1 Plant material or Buds
2 Large cooking Pot's
1 Egg
1 Strainer
1 Bag of M&M's (optional)

***The Basic Principle***
For this method we are going to use water. There is no sauting of the green. That method can lead to burning off THC and most importantly makes the taste unbearable.

STEP 1
-Take the large cooking pot and fill with water and bring to a boil. Look at the amount of scraps/buds you have. I find you generally won't need much more then 8-12 cups of water. But the amount of water really doesn't matter... Too much is better then too little.

STEP 2
-Once the water is boiling add your 2 sticks of margarine. For the purpose of cooking I have come to the conclusion that margarine is superior to butter.

STEP 3
-Now you can add your plant scraps/buds. I only use plant scraps so it is hard for me to say just how many buds you would add. I would make an estimation. Try it with a quarter first, then add more if potency isn't what you would like.

STEP 4
-Turn the temperature to a low boil and put a lid half on to allow the water to evaporate.

STEP 5
-This is the best step. Simply mix around the solution every 15 minutes. Smoke a bow while you wait. Let it boil till most of the water is gone. I find the approximate time at 1-1.5 hrs. However, I have let it go as long as 4 before.

STEP 6
-Remove the pot from the stove and allow it to cool off for a little while, so the mixture isn't too hot.

STEP 7
-Get the other pot and put the strainer on top of the 2nd pot. Drape the cheesecloth over the strainer.

STEP 8
-Pour the mixture onto the cheesecloth slowly. Let the mixture run through into the other pot below. Eventually let everything come out of the pot and fall onto the cheesecloth. Scrape the pot with a spatula and put the remaining matter on the cheesecloth too.

STEP 9
-You made gloves for this part. Grab the edge of the cheesecloth and fold up so it looks like your holding the top of a hershey kiss. Either squeeze in a downward motion or keep spinning the ball till all the rest of the margarine comes out of the scraps. Throw the cheesecloth scrap ball away

STEP 10
-Now you remove the strainer. You have the lower pot which will have the solution with all of the scraps pulled out. It will be very dark in color and is almost done. Put the pot into the fridge overnight.

STEP 11
-The next day you will have pure butter. The margarine will have hardened and will look like a giant flourescent green frisbee. Take a knife to the edges and slowly remove the disk. Take the disk and use a strainer to remove any other crud or sludge looking material that will try and stick to the bottom.

STEP 12
-You now have pure Cannabutter. There will be virtually no taste and the potency should knock you on your a$$. You can throw away any of the remaining material that was in the pot from the fridge. Take the disk and break it up into a cup and microwave it.

STEP 13
This is your melted pure cannabutter that you can do whatever you wish with. Make grilled cheese, brownies, use for garlic bread, etc. So many choices. For this tutorial I chose to make brownies. And I like mine potent so I will use all of the butter we just made, should be around a cup. So get all your ingredients to make brownies. Mixing bowl, brownie mix, egg, cannabutter, water, and M&M's.

STEP 14
-Put the melted cannabutter into the mixing bowl.. Add an egg to it. Mix the two together. Next add the mix. I find that I don't need too much water since I use a lot of butter. Add water to the mixture as you need too. Mix vigorously until smooth.

STEP 15
-Grease the pan a little and add the mixture. I pour M&M's over the top. I didn't used too. But I added it once on a whim and I have found it makes the taste amazing. I don't even like M&M's normally. But when I add them on the top of brownies they are great. My friends insist I keep the M&M's everytime i make it now.

STEP 16
-Put in the oven which has been preheated to 350 for 20-30 minutes. Check the brownies every few minutes starting at 20 mins. You know when their done by using a knife. Stab the middle of the brownies, if their is batter on the knife they are not done yet. When it stops sticking or is thick pieces you are all set. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

STEP 17
-Cut the brownies into 15 pieces. I found this was the best number from a single batch of brownies. And then enjoy

------------------------------
If you follow this simple tutorial you will have the best tasting and purest looking butter you have ever had. When I say Flourescent green disk I am not kidding at all. The butter will just be a glow. Hope you all enjoyed this and will put it to good use... I know it is many many many many steps and only needed to be half that. But I figured I would make it as easy to understand without pictures as possible.

Let me know how they taste

About how much plant material do you use in this recipe. I have bout 20 grams of scraps, would that be to much or would I need to add more?

KarmasPayment · 11-15-2003, 08:34 AM

It really all depends. I always used lots of plant scraps. If you let your leaves suck all the resin out and into the buds there is not going to be much substance in your scraps. Stems still will have some THC and are actually fairly good to use. There is no set amount of anything since everyones bud and scraps are different. If you have no other use for scraps, why not make butter? When your all said and done it might not be that potent, but just eat all of it at once. Make yourself some garlic bread with all the butter you have... Maybe lessen down to one stick of butter instead of 2. That way you will get the most out of all that you have. Give it a shot, it's better then just pitching it.

Please post that, any pix of any of these goodies?

Something deep inside me tells me to make some of this & take it to the office Christmas party...

I can hear my wife now, "That was the poolest carty they've ever had!"

Say,
I didn't think to take pics of the butter disc. It wasn't as neon as I expected but, when I removed it from the pan...there must have been 1/4" of trichs on the bottom of disc! Melted it down..made brownies with walnuts and M&M's. I am munchin' on some right now! VERY tastey...just a hint of MJ taste, but very good! The M&M's make it just right....
