Making weed brownies is an art and science that combines the joys of baking with the pleasures of cannabis consumption. Below, you’ll find a straightforward guide that ensures your brownies are both potent and delicious.
Ingredients and Tools
- Cannabis: Approximately 1g, finely ground
- Butter: One stick (to be infused with cannabis)
- Chocolate: High-quality, dark or milk based on preference
- Sugar, Eggs, and Flour: Standard brownie ingredients
- Vanilla and Salt: For flavor enhancement
Decarboxylation: Activating THC
Before infusing your butter with cannabis, it’s crucial to decarboxylate your dried herb. This process activates the THC, ensuring that your brownies have the desired effect.
- Preheat your oven to 245°F (118°C).
- Spread your ground cannabis evenly on a baking sheet.
- Heat in the oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Infusing Butter with Cannabis
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add decarboxylated cannabis to the butter.
- Simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Strain the butter to remove plant material, using a cheesecloth.
Baking the Brownies
- Mix dry ingredients: Combine flour, sugar, and cocoa powder in a bowl.
- Melt chocolate and infused butter: Use a double boiler for best results.
- Combine all ingredients, including eggs and vanilla, until smooth.
- Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
