Next time nix/skip the water, and you'll be good to go Don't worry, people have been making butter that way for ages so it WILL 'work' to a certain extent, there are just some improvements you'll be able to make to your next batch The old fashioned and outdated methods only included water because folks thought it would help prevent them from damaging their herb with too much heat, when in reality the herb still comes into direct contact with the heat source from below. A double boiler fixes this; it provides an actual buffer and separation from the heat source, and eliminates the need to combine your oil or butter with water! Water also pulls in more water-soluble impurities, and it soaks the herb and dilutes and hinders the effectiveness of your edible solvent, or oil/butter, making extraction difficult, and reducing its ability to form a bioavailable solution. People assumed it kept their butter cleaner, but really it just pulls more from the plant matter and it hurts the extraction of the stuff you actually want! If you need it more concentrated and want to use less butter than will cover your herb, don't make up for it with water, instead just take 10 minutes and make a quick dry-sift hash or alcohol-extract first. Then you can use as little oil as you need, without resorting to water contamination. This is why the old water-butters require so much more cooking time, and still come out weaker than the medical oils and butters of today! It's why we can now cook our oils for as little as 1 - 2 hours, depending on the effect we need, and it's why we have greater control over the outcome of our oil, while the old water butters require 15- 24 hours just to come close to that level of potency. The experts today not only recommend that you avoid the water-butter process like the plague, but you should even be using clarified butter that has had its little water content removed! Usually between 8% - 12% of store-bought butter is made up of water and milk solids, once removed, the pure milk fat you're left with is a much more effective solvent.
