Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1/4 ounce of ground cannabis flower
- cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 240Β°F (115Β°C).
- Spread the ground cannabis evenly across a baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting.
- In a saucepan, heat the olive oil on low heat to warm it up, but do not boil it.
- Add the toasted cannabis to the warmed olive oil, stirring to combine.
- Allow the cannabis/olive oil mixture to simmer over low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Place a layer of cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer over a clean glass jar or container.
- Pour the cannabis olive oil mixture through the cheesecloth or strainer, pressing or squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible while keeping solid pieces of plant material from getting into the final oil.
- Allow the cannabis-infused olive oil to cool before using or storing.
- Once cooled, pour the infused olive oil into an airtight container and store it in a cool, dark place.
Notes
This recipe yields approximately 1 cup of cannabis-infused olive oil, and the potency of the final oil can vary based on the potency of the cannabis used. Remember to clearly label any cannabis-infused edibles to avoid any unintended consumption by children or pets.
Alternative Container for strong cannabis-infused oil
- Tinted or dark glass bottles: Using a dark glass bottle, such as amber or blue, will help to protect the oil from light damage and help to preserve the quality of the oil.
- Stainless steel or ceramic containers with airtight lids: Non-reactive materials like stainless steel or ceramic help to prevent any leaching or contamination of the oil, which can affect the flavor and potency.
- Silicone food-grade containers: These are flexible, lightweight, and easy to clean. They also come in various shapes and sizes, making them a great option for storing smaller batches of infused oil.
- Mason jars: These jars are usually made of glass, have an airtight seal, and come in several sizes. They’re affordable and easy to come by and can be easily sterilized before storing the oil.
- Plastic containers with tight-fitting lids: While not ideal for long-term storage, plastic containers can be used for short-term storage of cannabis-infused olive oil, especially if kept in a cool, dark place away from light and heat sources.
Remember to label your containers with the date, potency, and contents of the oil to avoid any unintended consumption by children or pets.
