How to Make Cannabis-Infused Butter (THCa-Friendly Cannabutter Recipe)

Looking to turn your THCa flower into something edible? CannaButter is the go-to base for homemade cookies, brownies, cakes, and even grilled cheese (yes, really). Whether you’re new to infusing or just want a clean, potent recipe that works, we’ve got you.

This guide walks you through how to make stovetop cannabis-infused butter using THCa flower or shake from Pure Earth Hemp.

🌿 Why Use Cannabutter?

Cannabutter is one of the most versatile ways to infuse your favorite recipes. Once you’ve got a batch made, you can add it to almost anything:

  • Brownie or cookie batter
  • Morning toast or pancakes
  • Mac and cheese
  • Even popcorn if you're bold

Edibles are also a discreet and smoke-free way to enjoy THCa flower. Plus, they hit a little different (longer onset, longer-lasting).

🔥 What You’ll Need

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup water
  • 7 to 10 grams of THCa flower or shake (adjust based on desired potency)
  • Mesh strainer or cheesecloth
  • Glass jar or container with lid
  • Optional: Lecithin for better absorption

💡 We recommend starting with smalls or shake for edibles. Our Jetty or Zweet Treat batches are perfect for this.

🧈 How to Make CannaButter (Stovetop Method)

1. Grind & Decarb

Lightly break up your flower (don’t grind it into powder). Spread it out on a baking sheet and decarb in the oven at 240°F for 45 minutes.
This step activates the THCa, converting it into Delta-9 THC so your butter actually works.

2. Melt the Butter

In a saucepan, melt the butter and water over low heat. Don’t let it boil — slow and steady is key.

3. Add the Flower

Stir in your decarbed flower. Keep the heat low and simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. If it starts to bubble too much, turn the heat down.

4. Strain & Cool

Let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Then pour it through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer into a glass jar or container. Gently squeeze out every last drop (don't waste the magic).

5. Refrigerate

Chill in the fridge until the butter solidifies. Scrape off and discard any water that separates and settles at the bottom.

🧠 Tips for Best Results

  • Dose low to start. Try ¼ to ½ teaspoon per serving and adjust from there.
  • Store safely. Cannabutter will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
  • Use it anywhere. Cookies, cakes, ramen, grilled cheese — you do you. Just swap regular butter with your infused version.

✨ What Strain Should You Use?

We recommend starting with shake, trim, or small buds from any of our indoor-grown batches. Potent and clean, without wasting your premium nugs.

  • Daily Puff budget-friendly bags work perfect
