Make Your Own Cannabis-Infused Cooking Oil

Follow these simple steps to create your own DIY cannabis cooking oil!

Making cannabis edibles at home can be straightforward. One easy method is to turn concentrates like hash and kief into an infused cooking oil that can be used in most recipes. Remember, cannabis binds well with fatty molecules, ensuring more consistent effects. Here’s how to make your own cannabis cooking oil:

1. Decarboxylate Your Concentrates: To experience the full effects of your kief or hash, you must decarboxylate it first. Instructions on how to decarboxylate your kief/hash can be found here.

2. Prepare for Infusion: Once your kief/hash is decarboxylated, it's ready to be infused into your preferred cooking oil, such as coconut, olive, or avocado oil.

3. Heat Your Oil and Concentrate:

   • Place your cooled, oven-safe container with the decarboxylated kief/hash on an electric warmer plate set to low. If you don't have a warmer plate, you can use the warming plate on a coffee maker.
   • Add your chosen cooking oil to the container. The more oil you add, the less potent the final product will be, so measure carefully to achieve your desired potency.

4. Optional Step: Add Sunflower Lecithin:

   • For enhanced bioavailability of the cannabinoids, consider adding sunflower lecithin. This emulsifier increases the effectiveness of your cannabis infusion. For every cup of infused oil, add one teaspoon of sunflower lecithin. This step is optional but can improve the effectiveness of your infused oil.

5. Mix Until Homogeneous:

   • Stir the oil, kief/hash, and sunflower lecithin (if using) until the mixture is well combined and homogeneous.

Your infused oil is now ready to be added to any edible dish you desire. Enjoy your homemade cannabis-infused creations!
