Before we dive in, let’s clear something up: not all cannabutter is created equal. If you’ve ever had an edible that tasted like someone mixed lawn clippings into a brownie, chances are the flower was ground too finely, or the method wasn’t quite right.
1. 3.5g THCA Flower
2. Mason Jar
3. 1 Stick Butter
4. Water
Grind Smart, Not Small
One of the most common mistakes people make is grinding their flower into dust. Don’t do it. A too-fine grind leads to an overly “earthy” or even bitter flavor. You want a loose, coarse grind—enough to expose surface area, but not so much that it turns to powder.
If you’re decarboxylating your flower in a mason jar (which I recommend to preserve terpenes), do not fully seal the jar. Pressure builds as it heats. Instead, flip the flat disc of the lid upside down, or simply cover the opening with foil. This allows excess pressure to escape safely.
And for those worried about the smell—trust me, it’s minimal. Nowhere near the scent cloud you’d get from an oven tray.
There are countless cannabutter recipes floating around the internet, but only one I found that’s backed by real lab testing. Vanessa Lavorato (yes, that Vanessa from Bong Appétit) conducted over 200 certified lab tests to determine the most efficient method for making cannabis-infused staples like butter, oil, sugar, and more. Her research revealed that a significant portion of cannabinoid extraction occurs within the first 30 seconds of infusion, challenging the traditional belief that longer infusion times are necessary.

This shouldn’t need to be said, but here we are: quality in, quality out. The better the flower, the better your butter. Beyond just potency, consider the terpene profile of the strain you’re using. Think about the flavors—will they complement what you’re adding this butter to? For example, citrusy notes from a strain like Lemon Haze might be amazing in baked goods, while something earthier like Donny Burger might be better for savory dishes.
