Cannabis Infused Mac and Cheese
Start with the Cannabutter
Materials
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Oven
Saucepan, stock pot, double-boiler, or slow cooker
Mesh strainer or cheesecloth
Container for cannabutter
Cannabis grinder (optional)
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 cup water
1 cup ground cannabis (7-10 grams), decarboxylated
Decarb the cannabis. Preheat the oven to 245ºF. Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper
and place the loosely broken up cannabis on it. Heat in the oven for 30-40 minutes. Gently mix
the buds every 10-15 minutes to expose all sides of the buds.
Melt the butter. On low heat, melt 1 cup of butter in a saucepan, stock pot, double-boiler, or
slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water, which will help regulate temperature and prevent the butter
from scorching.
After the butter is fully melted, add in the decarbed cannabis.
Simmer on low heat, between 160-200ºF; don’t exceed 200ºF or you may burn out the
cannabinoids. Simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Place a mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a jar and pour the
butter/cannabis mixture through it. Discard the plant material.
Place the jar of butter in a fridge, and let it solidify before using, ideally overnight
