This recipe is a cornerstone for any home chef. By using high-quality oils—such as non-GMO coconut, sunflower, or olive oil—you can create a potent, versatile base for all your homemade cannabis edibles. If you are preparing your oil for wellness purposes, organic coconut oil is strongly advised for its unique properties.

Note: While refined options like canola oil will technically work, they are not recommended for the highest quality results.

Kitchen Tools

  • Large saucepan or pot

  • Whisk

  • Glass jar with an airtight lid

  • Cheesecloth and rubber bands

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Oil (Coconut, olive, grapeseed, or sunflower)

  • 1 oz (28g) Decarboxylated ground cannabis flower OR 2 oz decarboxylated leaves, stems, or trim OR 4 oz ABV (already-been-vaped) material.

Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Warm the Base: In your large saucepan, warm the oil over low heat.

  2. Combine: Stir in your prepared cannabis, ensuring it is fully distributed throughout the oil.

  3. Simmer: Allow the mixture to maintain a bare simmer for 3 hours. Stir every 30 minutes to ensure even distribution and to prevent the bottom from scorching.

  4. Strain: Double-fold your cheesecloth and secure it over your storage container with rubber bands. Carefully pour the oil through the cloth to filter out all plant material.

  5. Extract: Once the initial flow slows, remove the cheesecloth and squeeze it firmly to extract every remaining drop of oil from the plant matter.

  6. Store: Transfer your finished oil into an airtight glass jar and store it in a cool, dark place. It will remain potent for up to 6 months.

Professional Tips for Edibles

  • Dosing Safety: When starting a new batch, we strongly suggest a test dose of one teaspoon. This allows you to gauge the potency of your specific base before consuming a larger serving.

  • Heat Management: Never allow your oil to exceed low-to-medium heat during future cooking or baking. Excessive heat will degrade the cannabinoids, effectively killing the potency you worked to create.
