My favorite recipe is done in a pressure cooker
The CBD CC is a high CBD, a 2:1. The cobs will be mostly sativas from now on. The girl coming down tomorrow will become FHO. We ran out of oil just the other day and the daughter’s been taking ones made with mash. They’re not easy capsules to load. I’ll be thrilled to have oil for her again. The CBD CC capsules are her base meds.
@JustMeds , my favorite oil recipe uses a pressure cooker.
The ratio of buds to carrier oil is 500 ml of oil to 100 grams of dried buds. You scale to your needs.
Grind the buds up and place them and the oil in a small bowl or jar that can fit into the pressure cooker. Cover to keep water from dripping into the oil.
You want 235 degrees F for 110 minutes. I believe 235 is around 14 psi? I’m not sure how it works with the stovetop ones.
The pressure cooker decarbs and infuses in one fell swoop. With the IP I can set it and walk away. I leave it sit overnight most often. The extra time sitting only makes it more potent.
Strain, add liquid sunflower lecithin if it’s an edible oil or for medicinal capsules at the rate of one tablespoon per cup of strained oil.
If you use olive oil let that sit for 24 hours in the fridge and the lecithin will encapsulatebthe cannabinoids. Stir to be sure it’s thoroughly dispersed before using. It will separate, so you stir every time.
Coconut oil is used for recreational or to treat liver disease. It goes solid below 76 degrees, so I get it dispersed by bringing it back to liquid to stir, then letting it go solid and repeating a few times, until I’m confident it’s mixed well.
Those cautions with lecithin are more pertinent if you’re making capsules. When Im making the oil for cooking I strain, mix the lecithin in and go.
I never make butter. I use coconut oil or olive oil for my baking needs. The brownies are coconut, the capsules are olive. Olive oil is absorbed in a way that avoids the first pass through the liver and into the lymphatic system where cannabinoids have a better chance to do healing of inflammation.
Coconut oil is sent from the stomach straight to the liver where you get the wonders of 11-hydroxy THC.
