Flours and Butters

Butterleaf Flour

What you need:

• 1 cube of butter
• 1 ½ Cups of ground marijuana leaf

Directions:

• Melt a cube of butter (margarine or oil) in skillet.
• Grind leaf in a blender or grinder to a flour like substance.
• Add 1 ½ to cups leaf flour to the melted butter.
• Cook on the lowest heat, covered, for at least 20 minutes, stir to prevent burning. Burning will render the mixture useless.
• Then add this flour to your standard recipe, or add to a ready-made box of brownies. Very simple and doesn’t taste bad either!

Be careful ingesting any medical marijuana product as the potency of a batch can vary tremendously and your body’s reaction might be overwhelming. Use common sense and practical application to avoid discomfort. And if you use marijuana medically, inform your doctor of your use, and be certain that s/he notes this information in your medical records. Ask your doctor to monitor your medical marijuana use. Good luck. And may your suffering be relieved.

Ghee

Ghee is clarified butter often used in Indian recipes. Properly prepared ghee can be kept in room temperature or in a moderately cool place for many months without spoiling.

What you need:

• 0.5-1 kg of butter

Directions:

Method I:

• Heat 0.5 kg or more of fresh butter in a saucepan at a medium-low temperature (hot enough to boil the butter). A froth will form on the surface.
• Skim the froth with a spoon and discard it. Continue until no more froth appears. Be careful to remove all the froth. The remaining butterfat is ghee. Store in a refrigerator.

Method II:

Use of a wok is recommended, but any pot will do. Be sure the vessel you’re using is absolutely clean.

• Melt 0.5-1 kg of butter in a wok at medium-low temperature. Allow the molten butter to simmer for a while. White particles will float to the top.
• Stir frequently to insure that nothing sticks to the bottom. Eventually the butter will start to bubble over.
• Remove the wok from the stove and let it stand for about five minutes during which the white particles will sink to the bottom.
• When they have settled pour the ghee into a jar.

 For purer ghee it may be filtered through several layers of cheesecloth while hot. This will lessen the butterscotch flavor. The color of the ghee should be slightly darker than gold. If it gets any darker than this your wok is too hot.

If unsalted butter is used the residue can be eaten for example with honey. If salted butter is used the residue is worthless.

Cleaning of the wok:

• place a handful of salt and a little salad oil and scour with the aid of a cloth or paper towels.
• Repeat with fresh salt and oil until no more oxides appear on the towel.
• Wipe away the remaining salt. Never use water to clean a wok or cast iron pan!

Cannabutter

What you need:

• 0.5 kg of butter or ghee
• 1 oz. of finely sifted marijuana

Directions:

Method I:

• Melt 0.5 kg of butter or ghee in a saucepan.
• Add several ounces (1 oz = 28.35 g) of finely sifted marijuana.
• Simmer and stir for a few minutes until the butter takes on the greenish color of the grass.
• Pour the butter through a fine stainer.
• Press the mash firmly to squeeze out as much butter as possible. A little heat may be applied beneath the mash to help the butter flow better.
• Do not discard the leafy material. Simmer it in (hot) milk or vodka and sweeten with honey to make a tasty and effective beverage.

For extra potency the process may be repeated by heating more marijuana in the same butter. Otherwise do as above.

To store cannabutter may be frozen or kept for a long time in the refrigerator by pouring water over it to act as an oxygen shield. Use chilled water and cannabutter to prevent any butter from floating to the top.

A simpler and more potent cannabutter can be done by using hashish or hash oil instead of marijuana. Heat and stir until all the hash or oil dissolves in the butter. As much of hash or oil may be used as desired as it will dissolve very easily.

Method II:

• Fill the boiling pot 1/3 the way with crushed and crumbled marijuana tops.
• Fill the pot 3/4 the way with a mixture of 1 part butter and 4 or more parts of water.
• Boil for 30 minutes stirring frequently.
• Remove as much debris from the bottom as possible. Allow the liquids to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
• The butter will harden on the top and can be removed. Discard the water.

If a stronger product is desired the process can be repeated with fresh water and grass.

Basic Marijuana Recipe

What you need:

• 1 ½ – 2 cups of marijuana leaf flour
• 1 cube of butter

Directions:

• Grind to a fine flour like consistency until you have 1 ½ – 2 cups of marijuana leaf flour.
• Melt a cube of butter in a skillet.
• Slowlysauté the leaf in the melted butter on the lowest possible heat for at least 40 minutes.
• Cover, but check constantly! Stir repeatedly, keep checking the mixture. DO NOT LET BURN, STIR STIR STIR, keep checking. 
You can add a small amount of water to keep the mixture from sticking, but keep your eye on the mixture and be certain that it is dry to cook with.
• Let cool, then add this in place of some of the flour to any recipe that you like. Some folks add it right into a cake mix. 
I make a remarkable cookie from a butter cookie recipe by just adding the flour to recipe as is and adding another egg.

Olive Oil Recipe

What you need:

• 200 to 250 grams good quality organic cannabis shake (trim)
• Slow cooker
• Cheese cloth
• Silkscreen- min 200+ thread count per inch
• 3 Liters Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Colander or strainer

Directions:

• Put cannabis into slow cooker, and add olive oil until it just
covers the cannabis.
• Turn slow cooker onto High for 2 hours, and then turn down to Low
 for an additional 4 to 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
  ** If one wishes a stronger product, add fresh cannabis to the
previously heated oil left in the slow cooker and top up oil to cover
the cannabis.
• Keep cooking on low heat overnight or up to two days.
• Strain oil, as warm as possible, through cheese cloth, then strain
through silkscreen.

The oil is ready to use as is. It will keep for up to 3 months.
 Cannabis oil can have a very narcotic effect. It is recommended that
 you do not drive or perform difficult tasks after consumption
