  • Measure 113g of Butter and confirm your target yield.
  • Set out a scale, strainer setup, and a written potency label for the final batch.
  • Prepare a low, steady heat source and avoid boiling during infusion.
  • Line your straining vessel before the hot infusion is ready so you can move quickly.

Ingredients

1x
  • 113g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
  • Source material (amount calculated by BatchCraft)
  • Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
  • Double boiler or heat-safe bowl over simmering water

How to Make It

  1. 1Decarboxylate: Preheat oven to 115°C / 240°F. Break source material into fine pieces for maximum surface area. Bake 35-40 minutes.
  2. 2Melt: Add 113g butter to a double boiler. Keep temperature at 90-100°C / 194-212°F — precise temp control matters at this concentration.
  3. 3Infuse: Add decarbed material. Hold at temperature for 2-3 hours with frequent stirring (every 10 minutes). Do not let it boil.
  4. 4Strain: Filter through cheesecloth into a small container. With this much source material, strain twice for cleaner butter.
  5. 5Chill and portion: Refrigerate until solid. Divide into exactly 6 equal portions. Label clearly with the high potency warning.

Pro Tips

  • At 50 mg, precise portioning is critical — use a kitchen scale to divide into equal servings by weight.
  • Label this batch clearly as high-potency to avoid accidental overconsumption.
  • Consider starting with half a portion (25 mg) and waiting 2 hours before deciding on more.

Serving Ideas

Best used in small portions — spread a thin layer on crackers, stir half a portion into a drink, or use precisely measured amounts in baking. Less is more.

Substitutions

No Double boiler? Use Slow cooker on low

Set to low/warm for 2-4 hours, stir occasionally

No Double boiler? Use Mason jar in simmering water

Finger-tight lid, simmer for 2-3 hours

No Cheesecloth? Use French press

Pour infusion into French press and plunge to strain

No Cheesecloth? Use Fine mesh strainer + coffee filter

Slower but effective

Carrier swap guidance

Switch butter to coconut_oil

Flavor: Cleaner flavor with less dairy richness and a more neutral finish.

Potency handling: Usually similar or slightly more efficient because saturated-fat content is higher.

Texture: Firmer when chilled and a bit more structured in baked goods.

Best swap when you want dairy-free batches or longer shelf life.
