Description: A different take on the classic Cannabis Cooking Oil, this recipe uses peanut oil as its base. The thicker consistency of this oil is useful for making Hemp Hermits.
Ingredients:
1 cup of peanut oil (you may need more since the product absorbs so much)
1 stick of margarine
1oz/28g of trimmings (or any grade of marijuana you have available. Remember: the better the bud the stronger the oil!)
Making the Hempy Oil:
1. Heat the peanut oil and margarine in a large saucepan until the margarine melts (use a "low" setting)
2. Make sure the cannabis to be used is finely chopped or ground. (Edit: theCannabisChef suggests decarbing your bud before moving on)
3. Add the cannabis to the oily mixture. Keep the temperature low as the oil burns fairly easy.
4. Once the temperature seems consistent put a lid on the saucepan and let simmer for 1 to 2 hours. If the oil or the marijuana smells like it is burning you most likely have the temperature too high and it should be immediately lowered. Too much heat will destroy the THC!
5. Let mixture cool.
6. Strain with a fine strainer, put it in a container and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.
