THC Exploiter
Hello Everyone! A few days ago I posted in the ABV Coffee thread saying that I would try making some and would post the results. . . Well not everything worked the way I had hoped, but instead, I discovered a great way to make cannabutter if you live somewhere where you can't have your house smelling like cannabis
What we ended up doing was making the coffee ahead of time using a regular drip-style brewer. Since the end product was going to be used by me and my buddy, we poured about two servings of the coffee into an electric kettle that would be used for the THC extraction.
After doing this, we ran into our first hiccup. . . unfortunately, we had forgotten to get cream like we had planned, so at this point we were thinking about our options. We could just drink the coffee and wait until the next day to try and make our "infused" drink, but being quite vaked already, we decided that this was not an option. Now, I have read and heard about people doing some DESPERATE things when making edibles (for some reason, the person who used peanut butter in their ABV Ramen rings a bell
) so we didn't think that using butter instead of cream would be too bad. So before you know it, we've got a disgusting mix of coffee and partially-melted butter swirling around in our electric kettle.
Next we stirred in the ABV that we were using (only about three or four grams. . . the result of vaping about a half ounce) and began the waiting game. We simmered it for about an hour, and then realized that the liquid that we were left with was in no way fit for human consumption. . . It was the most horrifying looking kettle full of liquid I had ever seen, and I made it clear that something had to be done before we ate this stuff.
It is right here that the direction of our little project turned. Instead of making a THC infused drink, we had discovered a way to make cannabutter without making our entire building smell like a skunk petting zoo! My place was filled with the rich aroma of coffee, which made me very happy, and all we had left to do was put the coffee mixture into the refrigerator and wait!
A point worth noting if anyone decides to try this is to strain the ABV out of your mixture before the butter solidifies on the coffee. It will just make the process a little easier down the line! We unfortunately didn't think of this, but it all worked out in the end.
I let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for a couple of days just to make sure that all of the butter was in it's solid form. Next, I just strained all of the butter out of the coffee, melted it down, and strained the butter itself to get all of the particles of ABV out of it. What I was left with was a deliciously green tinted cannabutter that was just BEGGING to be eaten. We then got some bread, and enjoyed dipping it into our freshly made creation.
The results? Oh my goodness. There was a slight coffee taste to the butter, but it was actually very enjoyable! The high crept up on us over the period of about an hour, and it lasted for far longer than I thought it would. If I could remember when we ate it, I would be able to give a better estimate, but we were consistently stoned for about 5 hours (my buddy was on the edge of being TOO high for the majority of the experience
)
Overall, I can say that this experience was INCREDIBLE! I would highly recommend this method for making cannabutter if anyone lives in a place that the smell of marijuana could be problematic. I can't wait to be able to make some actual ABV coffee, but I'd say that our impatience and vaked ingenuity actually paid off this time.
Cheers and happy vaping to all!
