Today, we're diving into the art of making potent infused coconut oil using the Mason Pot Kit. Whether you're a seasoned cannabis enthusiast or a curious beginner, this guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, ensuring you get the most out of your ingredients. Let's get started!
Ingredients and Equipment
To begin, you'll need the following:
- Cannabis/Hemp: As little or as much as you like!
- Coconut Oil: Enough to just cover the cannabis in the jar
- Mason Pot Kit: All in one cannabis decarb and infuser kit!
Step-by-Step Process
Preparing the Cannabis
- Place the Cannabis: Transfer your cannabis into the Mason Pot jar.
- Secure the Lid: Attach the lid equipped with the silicone ring and tighten the band firmly to ensure no air escapes.
- Insert the Thermometer: Slide the probe of the thermometer through the silicone hole in the lid, making sure it reaches the bottom of the jar for accurate temperature measurement.
Decarboxylation
- Set the Temperature: Turn on the thermometer and set it to 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Set the Timer: Program the timer for 40 minutes to allow the cannabis to decarboxylate properly.
You can use the magnetic feature of the thermometer to attach it to your oven, or simply use the stand to prop it up.
Infusing the Oil
- Melt the Coconut Oil: While the cannabis is decarboxylating, place your coconut oil in the oven to melt.
- Combine the Ingredients: Once the cannabis has cooled slightly, pour the melted coconut oil over it, ensuring it just tops the cannabis for maximum potency.
Infusing
- Infuse the Mixture: Place the jar back in the oven and set it to 190-200 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours. You can adjust the temperature between 190 to 220 degrees as needed.
- Stir Occasionally OPTIONAL: Halfway through, give the jar a gentle swirl to mix the contents (optional but recommended).
Finishing Up
- Cool and Strain: After two hours, remove the jar from the oven and let it cool. Unscrew the lid and set up your straining equipment.
- Press the Cannabis: Use The Mason Pot Puck and Press along with the fine strainer to press the cannabis and extract the infused oil. Apply firm pressure to ensure you're extracting as much oil as possible.
- Collect the Oil: Capture the strained oil in a clean jar or container.
Usage Tips
- Direct Consumption: You can take the infused coconut oil directly.
- **Add to Beverages**: Mix it into your coffee or smoothies for an easy intake.
- Cooking: Use it in your cooking recipes that call for oil or butter.
- Gummies/Chocolate: Pour the oil into gummy molds to create pre-dosed servings.
