CannaButter Ingredients:
1 lb unsalted butter
dried cannabis (see * below)
4 - 5 L water
1 large stockpot
a 2nd pot or large bowl
a colander (spaghetti strainer) that will fit in the 2nd pot or bowl
a large piece of cheesecloth
a big spoon and potato masher
* If you have: Stems, seeds, leaves
Mild potency use: 225 grams
Strong potency use: 450 g
Mostly leaves, some stems
Mild: 120 g
Strong: 250 g
Leaves, trim from buds
Mild: 28 g
Strong: 56 g
Regular cannabis buds
Mild: 14 g
Strong: 28 g
Powerful cannabis or hash
Mild: 7 g
Strong: 14 g

Directions:
1) Place butter, cannabis, and water in a large stockpot, put the pot on a large element on the lowest setting possible.
2) Simmer for 6 - 8 hours. Stir every 1/2 hour.
3) When you are ready to strain, put the colander over the second pot or bowl. Line it with a large piece of cheesecloth. Using the spoon, slowly pour the brew into the cheesecloth. Don?t let the sides fall in.
4) Wrap the mixture tight and squeeze every last drop of juice out. The butter will want to cling between the leaves. Use the potato masher against the colander to squeeze out the precious juices.
5) Throw out the contents of the cheesecloth, then refrigerate the liquid in the pot. The butter and water will separate, and all the THC is in the butter. You can dump the water and store the butter in the fridge. If you don?t plan to use it within a week, freeze it, as butter will go bad.

Canna-Rum or Cooking Brandy
A mint julip packs a bit more punch if you replace the mint with bud; and a steak will go nicely with cannabis brandy sauce! Mixing store-bought alcohol with bud is rather easy. Rum, rye, vodka, brandy, whisky, Irish cream?whatever you like, it?ll safely dissolve THC from cannabis over several days. Tequila is an excellent alcohol for absorbing THC, and if you leave it for up to three months, you get a very powerful and smooth drink.
To make canna-liquor, you need to get about ten to fifteen very dry, well-cured smaller buds into a bottle of booze. Purchase all the ingredients for your desired drink and obtain about 1/4 to a half ounce of primo bud. If possible, just drop the buds right down the neck of the bottle, trying to avoid disturbing the resin glands. Trim to fit if need be! Shake?do not stir?the bottle every day once the bud is inside; this will transfer the THC into the alcohol. The longer the cannabis is in the liquor, the more it will break down and release its many valuable cannabinoids.
