DIY: Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil

Olive oil is the base of many a great dish! It adds depth, flavor, and allows for searing and sautéing. Hailing from the Mediterranean, this multi-use wonder fruit is also incredibly good for you.

Olive oil is not only rich in ‘good fats’ and contains important antioxidants, but it also has strong anti-inflammatory properties and even helps aid against heart disease!It’s no wonder that it is a staple oil in every pantry.

We figured that we could kick things up a notch by, of course, infusing it with weed...you know, because EVERYTHING is better with a little weed. We have tried a few recipes but have settled on the crockpot method. It’s easy, fast, and infuses the oil well!

Ingredients:

16oz organic or conventional extra-virgin olive oil

1-ounce

 flower of choice (we went with our 

Urbn

 Leaf Diamond Dust for this one)

Instructions:

Fill your crockpot up with hot water to create a water bath. You want to be able to cover the top of your mason jars

!

Start the crockpot on high and 

w

hen a temperature of 185° F is reached, turn the crockpot to low.

Set oven to 225°

.

 Lightly break up 

your

flower

 and spread 

it 

across the cookie sheets

 and put on 

the 

middle racks in the oven

. 

You will know when it is ready because it should 

look toasted and golden brown when done. 

Let cool

!

Put the olive oil you wish to use inside of the mason jars, evenly split

ting between all of them

. Be sure to leave some room for the flower to make sure you don’t spill over.

Place 

the de-

carbed

 flower evenly between

all of

 the mason jars

 you just put olive oil in

. 

Be careful to wipe the 

rim of the

jar and

 do not tighten the lid 

too tightly.

Once the water bath reaches 185° F, place jars inside and leave them alone to infuse for 4 hours. Once 4 hours is over, set aside to cool.

Once cool enough to handle, strain the liquid of each jar with a cheesecloth to separate the cannabis from the oil. 

When ready, s

tore the oil in a cool, dry place

. It

 will last longer i

f

 you keep it in the refrigerator.
