Ingredients
- 240g refined coconut oil
- Source material (amount calculated by BatchCraft)
- Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
- Double boiler or slow cooker
How to Make It
- 1Decarboxylate: Preheat oven to 115°C / 240°F. Break source material into small pieces, spread on parchment, bake 35-40 minutes.
- 2Warm oil: Melt coconut oil in a double boiler or slow cooker on low. Target 85-95°C / 185-200°F.
- 3Infuse: Add decarbed material to the warm oil. Maintain temperature for 2-4 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes.
- 4Strain: Filter through cheesecloth or fine mesh into a clean jar. Squeeze gently to extract remaining oil.
- 5Store: Let cool to room temperature, then seal. Refrigerate for longer shelf life. Label with date and potency.
Pro Tips
- ★Use refined coconut oil for a more neutral taste — unrefined adds a strong coconut flavor.
- ★A slow cooker on the "warm" or "low" setting is the easiest way to maintain consistent temperature.
- ★Coconut oil solidifies below 24°C / 76°F — store in a wide-mouth jar for easy scooping.
Serving Ideas
Use in baking recipes, stir into coffee or smoothies, spread on toast, or use as a cooking oil. Works as a 1:1 substitute for regular coconut oil.
Substitutions
No Double boiler? Use Slow cooker on low
Set to low/warm for 2-4 hours, stir occasionally

No Cheesecloth? Use Fine mesh strainer + coffee filter
Slower but effective
Switch coconut_oil to mct_oil
Flavor: More neutral and less coconut-forward.
Potency handling: Dose handling is similar, but liquid MCT is easier to portion precisely.
Texture: Thinner and better for droppers, capsules, and drinks than for gummies or baking.
Use when you want a pourable oil rather than a semi-solid carrier.
