These summer edible recipes will not only give a THC kick but, at the same time, help you beat the heat in summer. It is not a time to waste, and you must try out some of the best summer cannabis recipes that we are going to enlist in this post.

Simple cannabutter

Ingredients

–        1 cup butter

–        3.5g dried cannabis flower

–        Double boiler or crackpot

–        Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth

–        Digital thermometer

–        Sealing mason jar

–        Weighing scale for cannabis

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 245°F and prepare a baking tray.
2. Make sure to grind and scatter your cannabis flower properly and put it in the baking tray. Keep it in the oven for 20 minutes to decarboxylate to make a perfect summer edible recipe.
3. Take the flower out of the oven and put it in the Mason jar along with butter to add to your summer edible recipe. Also, make sure to place a piece of wax paper on the top of the jar before tightening the lid.
4. Put the jar aside on a boiler and fill it with water to the level of the mixture in the jar.
5. Allow it to simmer for 4 to 8 hours. Do not forget to stir it every 30 to 60 minutes. Do not forget that while you are using a crackpot, 4 to 6 hours of simmering will do the work for your summer edible recipe.
6. Use a thermometer to check the temperature and make sure that it remains between 180 to 200°F for a perfect summer edible recipe. Also, make sure to add more water to your pot, as the water will evaporate throughout the process.
7. After infusion, remove the jar and keep it aside to get cool so that you can touch it.
8. Remove the butter into a flat glass container. Make sure to cut vertical slices of the cannabis butter as it will settle down at the bottom of the jar. It will ensure consistency throughout the pieces.

Calculate the potency properly and store it in the fridge in a jar for future use.
