Making Your Cannabutter
The first thing that you’ll need to do is make your cannabutter. Measure out 2 cups of delta 8 flower buds and sprinkle them evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Then, bake them at 250 degrees for 25 minutes which activates the delta 8 THC through a process called decarboxylation.
Now, you can coarsely grind the freshly baked delta 8 flower and pour it into a small saucepan, along with 1 cup of water and 2 sticks of unsalted butter. Place on low heat and simmer for 2 and a half hours, never allowing it to reach a full boil. Finally, strain the infused butter into a jar and refrigerate for up to 6 months.
