Steps on How to make Cannabutter with Leaves

1.) Add your regular butter in the bottom of the crockpot then fill it with your leaves up to the top.

2.)Pour an Ounce of water all over the leaves and set the crockpot to low heat.

3.) Mix your Marijuana leaves until all of them look damp and wet.

4.) Allow for the leaves to boil for about 6 hours and by making sure to mix around every 2 hours.

5.) Prepare your Cheesecloth and set it over the metal bowl.

6.) Slowly transfer and pour your boiled up Cannabis leaves in butter and allow to drain.

7.)Get all four corners of the cheesecloth to form a ball so you can squeeze all the goodness out of the leaves (Do this in two batches if need be to make it easier to squeeze)

8.)Once you have squeezed all the liquid out of the Cannabutter from the leaves mixture. Cover the metal bowl with tin foil and place it in the refrigerator. What will happen is that the butter will separate with the water as it cools down and solidifies. Remember, cannabinoids are Oil-soluble and can only bind with fat so they are pretty sure they will go with the butter and not the water.

9.)The following morning, take your bowl out of the refrigerator and time to harvest your Cannabuter made from leaves! You will notice that your butter has risen to the top and solidified. Use a fork to break the Cannabutter on top and slowly transfer them in your storage container! Viola! You now have your homemade Cannabutter made from leaves! This will go excellent with any of the other cannabis edibles recipes!
