Welcome to the world of homemade cannabis infusions! Today, we're diving into a simple yet potent recipe using the Mason Pot Kit to create live rosin infused coconut oil. This method is perfect for anyone looking to explore the benefits of cannabis in their cooking and baking endeavors. Let's get started!
Unboxing and Setting Up
First things first, let's unpack the Mason Pot Kit. If this is your first encounter with the kit, you're in for a treat as it simplifies the process of cannabis infusion:
- Open the Kit: Inside, you'll find everything needed to begin your infusion journey.
- Prepare the Rosin: For this demonstration, we're using live rosin hash. The aroma is incredibly fresh and potent, indicative of high-quality cannabis.
Decarboxylation Process
Decarboxylation is a crucial step in activating the THC in cannabis. Here’s how to do it with the Mason Pot:
- Place the Rosin: Directly place live rosin hash into the Mason jar provided in the kit. You can drop it in without removing it from its container for convenience.
- Set the Oven: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). This temperature is ideal for decarboxylation without degrading the THC.
- Insert the Thermometer: Use the thermometer included in the kit to monitor the temperature closely. Insert it deep into the rosin or bottom of jar to get an accurate reading.
- Bake: Place the jar in the oven and set a timer for 40 minutes. Keep an eye on the process through the oven window if possible.
Monitoring the Decarboxylation
About 30 minutes into the baking, you'll notice the rosin bubbling. This is a good sign that the THC is activating. The bubbles should slow down or stop as it nears completion.
Infusion with Coconut Oil
Once the decarboxylation process is complete, it's time to infuse the activated rosin with coconut oil:
- Cool Down: Allow the jar to cool briefly after removing it from the oven.
- Add Coconut Oil: Measure a third cup of coconut oil and add it directly to the jar with the decarboxylated rosin. This ratio ensures a potent infusion.
- Infuse: Return the jar to the oven, now set between 190°F and 220°F (88°C to 104°C). Infuse for 2 hours, though you can extend it up to 4 hours for a stronger infusion.
Final Steps and Usage
After the infusion period, let the jar cool down before handling:
- Strain (Optional): If you didn't removed the rosin jar from its container before infusing, you will want to strain the through to easily catch that container.
- Store or Use: Unscrew the lid of the Mason jar, and your live rosin infused coconut oil is ready to use. You can incorporate this potent oil into various recipes like smoothies, gummies, or chocolates. It's also perfect for a simple scoop into your morning coffee or tea for an enhanced start to your day.
Creative Ideas for Using Infused Coconut Oil
Here are some fun and delicious ways to use your freshly made live rosin infused coconut oil:
- Smoothies: Add a teaspoon of infused oil to your favorite smoothie recipe for an extra kick.
- Homemade Gummies: Use the oil as a base for cannabis-infused gummies. They're fun to make and perfect for dosing.
- Chocolates: Melt some chocolate, mix in the infused oil, and pour into molds for homemade cannabis chocolates.
Tips for Success
- Temperature Control: Maintaining the correct temperature during decarboxylation and infusion is crucial for potency and avoiding THC degradation.
