Important Edible Safety Note
Cannabis edibles can take longer to feel than inhaled cannabis and may last longer. Potency depends on the cannabutter, the amount used, how evenly it is mixed, and the serving size. Start with a low serving, wait before taking more, label infused foods clearly, and store them securely away from children, pets, and anyone who could mistake them for non-infused food. This recipe is for adults in places where cannabis use is legal; follow your local laws.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cannabutter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp thyme or rosemary, chopped
- Pinch of lemon zest
- ½ tsp salt, optional
Equipment
- Saucepan or pot
- Mixing bowl
- Parchment paper
Before You Start
Have parchment and a clearly labeled container ready before mixing. Measure the cannabutter carefully and soften it just enough to blend evenly with the garlic, herbs, lemon zest, and salt.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Mash and stir the butter, herbs, garlic, and seasonings for 1–2 minutes, until the herbs are evenly speckled through the butter.
- Spoon onto parchment, roll into a tight log, twist the ends, and chill 45–60 minutes until firm enough to slice cleanly.
- Slice into measured coins or use measured spoonfuls; add to hot food off the heat so it melts gently.
- Portion into 8 tablespoons.
Dosing and Portioning Notes
Potency depends on the strength of your cannabutter, the amount used, how evenly it is mixed, and the final serving size. If the cannabutter is not labeled with usable potency information, dosing cannot be calculated from the recipe alone. Use the listed 8 tablespoons to plan measured portions, and calculate dose from the labeled infusion strength before eating.
Tips for Best Results
- Keep the cannabutter over controlled, gentle warmth only when the method requires heat, stirring often and avoiding scorching.
- Shape the butter into a log or measured spoonfuls before chilling so later portions are easy to track.
Storage and Serving
Transfer the finished garlic herb butter to a clean covered container with the date and infusion clearly labeled. Keep it refrigerated or frozen according to food-safety needs, and use it only in recipes where portions can be measured clearly.
Keep infused butter counted, clearly labeled, and secured until use. Do not leave infused butter on counters, tables, or anywhere children, pets, or guests could reach it by accident. Discard anything that was left out, unlabeled, unattended, or cannot be clearly identified.
