Make the Base for your Cannabis Christmas Recipes

Getting Started with Cannabis Infusions

Before diving in, it’s important to prepare your cannabis infusion base. For all recipes, we’ll use cannabis-infused butter (cannabutter) or cannabis-infused oil. If you don’t have these prepared yet, start with this quick guide (take a deeper dive in the links):

1. Decarboxylate your cannabis: Bake ground cannabis at 240°F for 30-40 minutes to activate THC.
2. Infuse with butter/oil: Simmer the decarboxylated cannabis with butter or oil on low heat for 2-3 hours.
3. Strain and store: Use a cheesecloth to strain the mix, leaving you with smooth, infused butter or oil.

Now that your base is ready, let’s dive into these delicious Cannabis Christmas Recipes!
