When you think about it, butter is quite an amazing food. It’s made from cream, which is a byproduct of milk – and this makes it rich in vitamins and minerals, as well as a good source of fat and protein.

Butter is an ingredient in countless dishes, from light and fresh breakfasts to rich and indulgent desserts. It adds flavor, moisture, and texture to a variety of foods, making them more interesting and enjoyable.

So why not combine the amazingness of butter with the benefits of CBD? CBD butter is a simple and tasty way of adding the benefits of cannabis to your cooking without having to rely on smoking or vaping.

CBD Butter Ingredients

Today, we’ll focus on adding CBD to some butter you already have in your kitchen – making your own butter from the ground up is a bit of an involved process and not something everyone has the time or inclination to do.

There are two main ways to make CBD butter: with CBD oil or with CBD isolate.

CBD Oil Butter Ingredients

  • 1 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 cup of water
  • 10-50 ml of CBD oil

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
  2. Add 1 cup of water to the saucepan.
  3. Add 1 gram of CBD oil to the mixture.
  4. Simmer the mixture for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
  5. After that, remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool.
  6. Once the mixture has cooled, strain it through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer.
  7. Store the CBD butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

CBD Isolate Butter Ingredients

  • 1 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 gram of CBD isolate

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
  2. Add 1 gram of CBD isolate powder to the melted butter.
  3. Stir the mixture until the CBD isolate is fully dissolved.
  4. Once the CBD isolate is fully dissolved, remove the mixture from heat and let it cool.
  5. Put the CBD butter in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Using CBD Butter

Now that you have your CBD butter all ready to go, it’s time to start cooking and baking! CBD butter is incredibly versatile; you can use it in any recipe that calls for regular butter:

  • Baked goods, such as cakes and cookies,
  • Sauces for pasta or vegetables,
  • Spread on toast or biscuits,
  • Mashed potatoes with a dash of CBD butter.

CBD butter can also be used in savory dishes. Try using it to sauté vegetables or as a topping for grilled meats. Just remember, exposing your CBD butter to high temperatures for too long can reduce the potency of its effects.

Safety and Storage

As with any product containing CBD, it is important to store your CBD butter correctly to ensure it is safe and effective. And in the case of CBD butter, this isn’t far from the way you’d store regular butter. 

Keep your CBD butter in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks – if you want to store it for longer, you can also freeze it. When thawing your frozen CBD butter, make sure to do so in the refrigerator and not on the countertop.

You can keep it on the countertop for a few hours at most, but it shouldn’t be exposed to too much heat or sunlight. 

In Conclusion

CBD butter is one of the simplest and most delicious ways to get the benefits of cannabis. Whether you make it with CBD oil or isolate, it is an easy way to add a little something special to your favorite recipes – from breakfast dishes all the way through dinner. 

The key is to make sure you store your CBD butter correctly and don’t expose it to too much heat or light. With the right ingredients, instructions, and storage tips, you can enjoy this tasty ingredient in your dishes in no time!
