Ingredients:
1 cup of vegetable oil
2.5 grams of marijuana (decarboxylated)
Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
Sous vide machine
Mason jar or vacuum-sealable bag
Airtight container for storing the infused butter
Step 1: Decarboxylation
In this example we have used our automatic decarb machine. See our "Make your Infusions" tab for other options. To produce our 70-80 mgs of THC per tablespoon oil we used 2.5 grams of marijuana flower containing 21.7% THC. Be sure to grind your bud before starting the decarb process.
Step 2 Infusing the Oil:
Place the decarboxylated marijuana in a mason jar or vacuum-sealable bag. Add 1 cup of vegetable oil to the jar or bag, making sure the marijuana is fully submerged. Seal the jar or bag tightly.
Step 3 Sous Vide Setup:
Fill a sous vide container with water and set the sous vide machine to 185°F (85°C). See our “How to infuse” page for other methods of infusion.
Step 4 Infusion Process:
Submerge the sealed bag in the water bath and let it cook for 3.5 hours. This time and temperature will allow for optimal THC extraction.
Step 5 Straining:
After the infusion is complete, remove the jar or bag from the water bath. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the infused oil, separating the plant material from the liquid.
Step 6 Cooling and Storing:
Allow the infused oil to cool to room temperature. Transfer the THC-infused oil to an airtight container for storage. Make sure to label your container with the type of oil, THC/tablespoon and the date.
Testing:
We have the equipment to test each of our infusions to determine the exact amount of THC in them. If you followed our recipe exactly you can confidently approximate this infusion to 70-80 mgs of THC per tablespoon. Please visit our THC calculator if you would like higher or lower THC levels in your infusion.
