So you want to make pot brownies, huh? And you've asked yourself, "Hmm, how do I do that?" Well, this should help ya out a little. I have step by step instructions, and even included pictures. Yay!!! So are you ready to start making the yummy yummy treat?
First things first, the cannabutter. I would highly recommend putting this in your brownies instead of just throwing some weed in them. So here's how to make this enchanted green butter.
Determine how much weed you want to put in your butter. I would recommend starting with a lighter batch, you can get messed up pretty bad by eating weed. So, a "light" batch would be about 3/4 an ounce of weed to 5 sticks of butter. Of course you don't need 3/4 an ounce of weed to make butter. If you use less weed, just use less butter! Makes sense eh?
Before you get started, CRACK A WINDOW!!!
Your kitchen is definitely going to stink for a while, so if you are worried about neighbors, you may want to do the cannabutter at night.
Alright, you want to put about a quart of water (if your using 5 sticks of butter) into a pan and bring the water to a boil. Next add the butter (I don't recommend using marjarine). After the butter is melted, add your desired amount of finely grinded weed. Of course make sure you remove all stems and seeds before adding to water.
After adding the weed reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes. Make sure you stir frequently!
When time is up, remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes then strain the pot butter (using cheesecloth) into a bowl. For those of you who do not know what cheesecloth is: long a versatile kitchen helper, this lightweight natural cotton cloth won't fall apart when wet and will not flavor the food it touches. Cheesecloth has a multitude of culinary uses including straining liquids, forming a packet for herbs and spices (as with bouquet garni) that can be dropped into a soup or stock pot and lining molds (such as for coeur a la creme). It comes in both find and coarse weaves and is available in gourmet shops, supermarkets and the kitchen section of many department stores. In Britain it's sometimes called butter muslin.
If you don't have cheesecloth on hand, don't fret. I've heard that a plain white handkerchief will do the job. And, if you do not posess one of these, just leave it in. You may be able to taste it, but it's not so bad!
Before refridgeration:
Next, put your green butter into the fridge overnight to harden. Scoop the top wax like layer out and save, this is your precious cannabutter. Discard the yucky water underneath. All the good stuff you need is in the soild form, so you don't need the water.
Now, get your favorite box of brownie mix ready!
Make the brownies as you normally would, except substitute the oil or butter the mix calls for with the cannibutter. Follow the rest of the directions on the brownie mix box, baking time may take a bit longer. I would also recommend lowering the oven temp to 325 degrees.
Don't be afraid to get a little creative with your brownies either.
Now you can finally eat your magical brownies!!! Be careful though, you should start with just one and see how that works. Remember that it takes a while to take effect, wait at least 30-60 minutes to see if your high.
ENJOY
