This is how I
make bud-oil (for cooking, not smoking).
1 -
start with your trimings - throw those outer fan leaves
away - just the closer trimmings of leaves with decent
THC on them. You will be placing these in oil so make
sure they are dry (think about how oil reacts with
water...)
2 - Oil - you want flavorless cooking
oil, vegetable or canola work fine (would you cook
brownies in olive oil?)
3 - Place
trimmings in crock pot, put oil in to ALMOST cover.
Remember you have a fixed amount of THC in those leaves,
the more oil you use the less potent it will be. Plus,
this will be cooking for 12+ hours and as it does stir
it once or twice and all the plant material will make it
to the oil.
4 - Here
she is after ~12 hours -> I have cooked for as long
as 18 hours with no ill effect. This is just on "low"
setting of crockpot. The room will get a nice grassy
smell.
5 - extract through a colander - you
don't need to worry about every little solid - just get
the majority of it.
6 - Carefully pour into
clean jars or whatever. Place in refrigerator to slow
down oxidization. You could now use this for anything
that calls for oil in the recipe.
