Equipment:
- A double-boiler (or DIY it with a sauce pan with a few inches of water, stacked with a metal or glass bowl on top that fits snug)
- Fine mesh strainer
- Storage container (i.e. mason jar with a lid)
- Unbleached cheesecloth
- Baking sheet
Ingredients:
- 1 cup olive oil, coconut oil, or oil of your choice
- 1 cup grounded decarboxylated cannabis (instructions below)
- *Please note that dosing depends on your tolerance
- *Oil lasts 6 months to 1 year
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F
- Grind up about 1 cup or about 7-10 grams of hemp (We recommend Catskill Hemp Co.)
- Spread grinded hemp evenly across a baking sheet
- Heat in the oven for 25-30 minutes
- Add water to the bottom pan of your double-boiler or saucepan
- Add 1 cup of oil of your choice to the top section of the double-boiler or bowl
- Stir in the decarboxylated hemp into the melted oil
- Continue to heat up hemp and oil over a low heat for about 30-60 minutes, stirring occasionally (optional: use a thermometer to check temperature. Maintain the oil below 200 degrees F. We always aim between 130-150 degrees F and infuse for about an hour)
- Turn off the heat and line a strainer with the cheesecloth and position it over a glass bowl
- CAREFULLY pour the hemp and oil mixer through the strainer. (Warning as oil will be hot!)
- Grab the cheesecloth and gently squeeze the excess oil from the hemp (note: wear food grade gloves to avoid greasy hands)
- Transfer the infused oil over to your glass jar and seal it
- Store in a cool dark location
- Ready for use, enjoy!
