How to make Canna Oil
Canna oil serves as a crucial ingredient in concocting weed mayonnaise. If you possess canna oil or plan to acquire some, feel free to skip ahead to the next section (Canna-Mayonnaise).
Before delving into edibles, it’s essential to decarboxylate cannabis. This process is vital because raw cannabis lacks sufficient active cannabinoids, instead containing acidic forms of these compounds. Decarboxylation occurs when cannabis is subjected to heat, converting these acids into cannabinoids.
To Decarboxylate
- Break down your cannabis buds by hand into smaller pieces (a grinder is optional).
- Preheat your oven to 110°C.
- Spread the marijuana on a baking sheet, preferably lined with parchment paper for ease of handling and minimal mess.
- Bake the cannabis in the oven for 40 minutes.
- Your decarboxylated cannabis is now ready.
Ingredients:
Decarboxylated cannabis strain of your choice
Cooking oil of your preference
Tools:
Strainer
Double-boiler
Directions:
Determine a ratio of marijuana to oil, typically around 1:2, though adjust according to personal preference. For the mayo recipe, 1¼ cup of canna oil is required.
Combine the marijuana and oil in a double boiler, heating them together over low heat. This process, lasting 3-5 hours, facilitates cannabinoid activation without risking burning or degradation of active ingredients. Pre-decarboxylating the cannabis ensures optimal potency.
Once the oil has finished cooking, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer and store it appropriately, discarding any leftover plant material.
Exercise caution to maintain temperatures below 110 ℃ when working with cannabis cooking oil.
Weed Mayonaise
This recipe yields approximately 1½ cups of mayonnaise, but you can easily scale it up for larger batches. This portion size is intentionally moderate to prevent overindulgence. However, beware: Canna-mayonnaise is irresistibly tasty.
Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Juice of 1 whole lemon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1¼ cups canna-oil
Tools:
Food processor
Directions:
In a food processor, combine the egg, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper according to your personal preference for seasoning. Blend the mixture until smooth.
While the food processor is running at a low speed, gradually pour in the canna oil. The oil should incorporate smoothly with the other ingredients, creating an emulsion.
Enjoy your homemade canna-mayo!
