In my recent nutrition research, I've been coming across a lot of positive information about coconut oil. For one, it is more stable than many other unsaturated fats, when heated (frying, etc.), meaning that it doesn't degrade into unhealthy chemicals, as rapidly. Another benefit, is that at room temperature (~75F) it becomes a pretty hard solid (you can crack off chunks like you can with hard cheeses). This makes portioning it out very easy. This quality also makes it great for smoothies, since it can be melted down for the mixing process, and then when it cools down in the smoothie, it should add creaminess to the texture.
What do you guys think about the following method for infusing coconut oil?
-Put the desired amount of coconut oil and finely Cannabis into a mason jar. Cover the mason jar with aluminum foil.
-Put the mason jar in a pot, with about two inches of water on the bottom, and set it to boil constantly but not too intensely. If you wait until it is boiling, to add the mason jar, the glass might crack.
-Leave it for 20 minutes.
-Strain the oil, and either portion it out with measuring spoons, or skip straight to popping it in the fridge, to harden. If you let it harden first, you can cut it up with a sharp knife, instead.
