Concentrate Edibles made with butter and oils are the gold standard for home preparation. Because you are using pure concentrates instead of raw plant material, you get a much cleaner, more subtle flavor profile that won’t overpower your culinary creations.

Warning: Concentrates are significantly more potent than flower-based mixtures. Always use with caution and dose responsibly.

  • Difficulty: Easy

  • Yield: 1 cup of butter or oil

What You’ll Need (Kitchen Tools)

  • Small saucepan or pot

  • Whisk

  • Small glass bowl or airtight storage container

Ingredients

  • 1 gram decarboxylated concentrate (e.g., shatter, wax, or distillate)

  • 1 cup butter or coconut oil

Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Melt: Heat your coconut oil (or butter) in a small saucepan over low heat until it is completely liquid.

  2. Combine: Add your decarboxylated concentrate to the oil. Whisk gently and continuously until the concentrate has completely dissolved into the fat.

  3. Monitor Temperature: This is critical—do not allow the mixture to bubble or boil. High heat will degrade the THC and reduce your final potency.

  4. Store: Once the concentrate is fully integrated and invisible, remove from heat. Pour the mixture into a clean glass jar with an airtight lid and let it cool.

Important Safety & Professional Tips

  • Dosing Warning: Concentrates are highly potent. We strongly suggest starting with a very small serving to establish your tolerance before increasing your dosage. Start low and go slow.

  • Heat Management: Never let your concentrate butter or oil exceed medium-low heat during future cooking or baking, as excessive heat will destroy the potency you worked so hard to create.

  • Butter Choice: While you can use salted butter, unsalted is highly recommended for baking to give you better control over your flavor profile.

  • Storage: * Fridge: Keeps for a few weeks in an airtight container.

    • Freezer: Keeps for up to 6 months.
