I couldn't get it to completely mix. Might try the bullet blender later and warm water to see if it will mix up.How about cannabis oil and lecithin mixed in water and left for an hour?
Wonder which one it would look like.
Ok, thanks. Did it mask the flavor of the cannabis oil at all?
I put some on my finger and tasted it yesterday before using it in a recipe, I did not get any bitterness from it and only slightly tasted the weed. When I open the jar of powder there is a minor weed smell as well.Ok, thanks. Did it mask the flavor of the cannabis oil at all?
As a non-smoker, this seems right up my alley and even more versatile than the dust/powder I use as my primary intake now.
Because I've preferred the acidic versions of the cannabinoids, I started off extracting the raw bud into olive oil as my go-to and used that on salads, mixed into rice at dinner, stopped up with a piece of bread, stuff like that. But not everything goes great with a dose of olive oil. My breakfast cereal for example.
Then I read the Dust thread and found that way of intake to be much more versatile.
But this version, being water soluble, seems like it will be much more versatile. Could have it with a glass of water or juice at any time, or mix it into most things I'd imagine. And, given the claims of increased absorbability it might be even more effective even at lower doses so it might help someone like @Jon who might see increased pain relief from an edible.
Or, for others like @Maritimer and @bluter who use their harvests to help others with medical issues, this product could materially increase the number of people they could help.
I'm glad you shared this with us!
I didn't try the cornstarch because I remembered that cornstarch is a thickener. I don't want a thickener.
That sounds right but I don't have a frame of reference doing the calculations they way that they did in the article as everything was measured in grams and I dose in teaspoons. They backed into the teaspoon potency without giving the volume of malto that weighs 150 grams. I guess we can assume they're right but I prefer to calculate it myself so I'm confident in what I'm ingesting.Dosing THC Powder for recipes question:
If I use the chart below from the Royal Queen Seeds Blog on making THC Powder, I want to be sure I'm figuring this correctly.
The bowl I'm using for my dinner will contain about 2 cups of thick "soup".
The strain I used for my oil has a THC percent of 22% suggested by breeder, some estimate higher than that, but I am not positive how much without mine being tested. So, I'm going to go the lower end and figure about 19%. I will adjust as needed.
At 19% THC in the chart below, each teaspoon will be around 9 mg of THC.
Going online to see THC drink sizes, it's usually 12 ounce beverages with 10 mg of THC. = 1.2 mg per oz.
Here would be my calculation:
16 oz. soup x 1.2 mg = 19.2 mg of THC powder needed. (I would probably just round that to 20 mg. or slightly more than 2 teaspoons)
Does that sound correct? My brain is in a foggy right now.
I see what you're saying.
Well done!Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup Infused With THC Powder
The slow cooker recipe is from Food Network's "The Kitchen".
I'm sure a lot of you are lovers of the classic French Onion Soup served in a crock with bubbly golden cheese on top of toasted baguettes. I've done versions many times in past years infusing it with Cannabis.
If you love a good cheese pull, this Lasagna Soup version is sure to please a hungry weed loving crowd!
Use any kind of infusion you like, I used my homemade dissolvable THC Powder. Follow the dosing calculators for infusing edibles or in cooking with cannabis.
For each cup of this recipe I figured 1 tsp. of THC powder @ 9-10 mg THC. There are about 2 cups of Lasagna soup in my oven bowl, so I mixed in 2 teaspoons of the powder to the contents of the bowl. I sprinkled a pinch or two on top after broiling too, just because. ;-)
You can add more or less powder or other infusion method depending on what your own tolerance level is.
The dissolvable THC Powder was added only after everything had been cooked, and before broiling the cheese top.
I'm sure this could be done in a crockpot or on the stovetop. I used to make something very similar called "Sloppy Lasagna" in a pan on the stovetop.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups chicken broth
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teapoon dried oregano
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 bay leaf
8 ounces lasagna noodles (about 10 noodles), broken into pieces
Handful chopped fresh basil
Your cannabis dosage according to dosage calculations.
I used 9-10 mg THC powder per cup of soup (approximately 2 teaspoons. You can use more or less depending on your personal tolerance level)
Shredded mozzarella, for topping
Sliced provolone, for topping
Grated Parmesan, for topping
Directions:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with the garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In a slow cooker, combine the beef with the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, parsley, oregano, garlic, onion, bay leaf, 1 cup water and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook on high for 5 1/2 hours or on low for 7 1/2.
Stir in the lasagna noodles and continue to cook for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to broil.
Ladle the soup into ovenproof bowls. Mix in well one teaspoon of THC Powder (about 9 mg) per cup of soup, and the basil.
Top each bowl with a few tablespoons of shredded mozzarella, a slice of provolone and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Place on a baking sheet and heat under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Watch it close, some oven broilers heat faster than others.
Another option for this is using toasted lasagna noodles in the soup. It takes a little more time, but It adds an addiitional complex flavor that is truly worth it. Below is a link to a recipe for it, and a how-to video.
Enjoy!Real Lasagna Soup
This lasagna soup tastes exactly like a really good Italian lasagna, but is a deliciously rich, meaty tomato soup with tender baked noodles and cheese.www.allrecipes.com

Personal Results:
End result for me, using THC Powder, was a nicely mild high lasting about 2 1/2 hours. It came on pretty darned quickly compared to eating a traditional pot brownie or other infused edible. I noticed the first sign of effects at around 20 minutes. It wasn't a hit ya high, but enough that I was in a comfy buzz. I really enjoyed it and I had a good sense of the happys' and relaxed, as well as staying motivated. I'm sure a stronger effect could be obtained using a higher dose for myself. I was okay with it, because I still had things to get done, and I didn't want to be completely couch locked for the rest of the evening.
For the inquiring minds, the strain used for my oil and powder was Banana Jealousy.
There was certainly no gritty texture, and it dissolved very quickly in the "soup". There was no discernable sweet taste in the "soup", and nothing bitter. I tasted just a hint of weed, but almost not there at all. Of course, all of the tomato, onions, chicken stock, and such in the soup could mask that quite well, I'm sure.
It's great that you can do just a bowl of this at a time, making a stronger bowl on the next meal if you wanted. It's all going to be dependent on your THC content of your oil when making your powder and how much powder you add to your recipe.
Great.
After the first pass, the pores got clogged up so I just worked it through with my fingers. Not as fluffy as the straight malto powder but that's to be expected.
Can those be extracted into oil like the trichomes on canna? I have no idea about mushrooms.
SweetSue, in her Instant Pot Infusion thread suggested 1T/8oz, and it's how I do mine, but I have the bottled stuff. No idea if diy is same ratio. The bottled stuff is a thick, syrupy based liquid, kind of like corn syrup.
So far I've done: dissolved in 4oz of water, in a chicken-stock based stew, with olive oil and applesauce on a salad, mixed with rice for dinner and mixed in yogurt.
Thank you, I'm not crazy. I knew I had seen this method for making canna-butter before but never came across it again. I tried it one time back ... I have no idea when but I rember the cookies I made and they were really good but too potent. everyone I've tried to tell how to make canna-butter this way won't believe me and insist frying it in oil is best. who ever dug up this old post thank you. I wasn't sure if it really happened or it was a dreamHere's how I make my Cannabutter until I get my Magical Butter Machine. I do it in a crockpot:
My budder is pretty simple:
I put one pound of real butter (unsalted I prefer) in a crock pot and add 2 cups of water. Then I add about 1/2 cup of my fine ground trim. You can add more, depending on how strong you want your butter. Mix it all up and crank the heat to high until the butter is melted and mixed in well. Then I put the setting to low and let it cook for 8-9 hours. I stir it up a couple times during the process and get the stuff off the sides and mix it up.
Then I drain it through about 4 layers of cheesecloth into a glass container (some people use coffee filters). I press down on the stuff in the cheesecloth with the back of a wooden spoon to get all the liquid out.
Put some plastic wrap on the top and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
In the morning I just cut a small little hole in the edge of the butter so I can pour out the liquid. The butter then just slides right out for me. Cut it in 4 oz. chunks just like a stick of butter. I keep mine in the freezer.

In answer to your questions:
That was a long time ago. LOL
Yep. Although I don't think there is an actual recipe from members on this thread.
