Cooking with Cannabis: Tips and Tricks
Incorporating cannabis into your cooking can enhance flavors and provide unique experiences. Whether you’re making edibles or infusing oils, understanding how to cook with cannabis is essential.
Decarboxylation
Before using cannabis in cooking, it’s important to decarboxylate it. This process activates the THC and CBD, making them more effective. Simply bake your cannabis at a low temperature for about 30-40 minutes.
Infusing Oils and Butters
One of the most popular methods is to infuse oils or butters with cannabis. This can be done by simmering the plant material in oil or butter over low heat for several hours.
“Infused oils can elevate any dish, adding a unique twist to your favorite recipes.”
Cooking Techniques
When cooking with cannabis, start with small doses to gauge your tolerance. Remember, the effects can take longer to kick in compared to smoking.
