We use coconut oil, personal choice. It seems to absorb a higher rate of the canabanoids than butter or olive oil. Cooking Canna Oil 11/16/18 2.45 pound jar coconut oil 9 oz flower 16-32 oz water 1-2 oz. Ever clear, relative to flower weight Yield: 10-11 cups of CANNA OIL Make= ? big cookies 0. Grind and decarb flowers at 240F for 1 hour 0. Spray Ever Clear on ground decarbed flowers while stirring 0. Place oil in crock pot, add water to float. 0. Set crock pot to high to start liquefying the oil 0. When liquid stir in the ground flowers 0. Bring temp to 250F, lid on crock pot 0. Keep temp between 250-270F stirring occasionally An occasional flip from LOW to WARM setting may be needed to regulate the temp. Note: my crockpot set on low maintains 207F which is fine for me. The mixture needs to stay below 320 degrees to avoid burning off the active ingredient. The water in the pot stops this from happening because it will evaporate first. Periodically add water throughout the process to keep the cannabis submerged. After 12 - 18 hours, turn off the crockpot and allow to cool for a while. Get the cheesecloth and double wrap it over your strainer. Place over a large container to catch the warm liquid. SLOWLY pour the mixture into the cheesecloth and allow to drip. If it's not too hot, wrap the plant material and squeeze out the hot oil. Continue until all the mixture has been squeezed out of the cheese cloth. The remaining plant material can be saved to use for a topical compress. Although most of the medicinal properties lie within the oil still trapped in the spent bud. Put the container of hot oil/water in the fridge over night and allow the oil to rise to the top. The water that was added during the process catches all the extra plant material and brown contaminants from the the mixture. This allows for a much cleaner tasting product. Pop the hardened green coconut oil off the top of the water that sunk to the bottom, and discard the water. You are now left with a green chunk of coconut oil that is ready to use for the recipe of your liking. Store in the fridge until ready to use. Allow to warm before adding to recipes. Coconut oil is a good substitute for most baking and can replace butter in many recipes. Some people like to add it to a hot beverage for an easy medication. NOTE: The same recipe works if you want to use butter instead of coconut oil. Just remember butter has less saturated fat and can't absorb as much THC. Most people use a ratio of 1-2 ounces of bud per pound of butter.
