Making Water Soluble Cannabis Edibles at Home

I made another batch of tapioca maltodextrin infused with feco. My first batch was made with coconut oil, rosin, and powdered lecithin. On this batch I used mct oil, feco, and liquid lecithin.

Although in total I more than trippled the amount of maltodextrin it is still stronger than the first batch, (2 grams rosin on the first batch vrs 3,4 grams of feco on batch 2) although to be honest ill have to test more to be sure, I might have over did it today, lol.

I've been using this in coffee, shakes, and right off a teaspoon.

In coffee, as a treat, I use a tsp of the powder, hot chocolate mix, milk and mix it with coffee in a magic bullet for a mocha blast off. It does mix well without a blender in a hot drink though, it melts quickly. I can usually feel it before the coffee is gone.

In a shake or in food it still works but in a hour or so for me.

 

I used the last of mine in some hot chocolate the other night. It had cocoa butter in it so that worked well. I think I'm going to double up on mine this time, too, but not sure if I want to use a flavor this time. Nutella could be interesting.

Any bitterness to the feco/lecithin mix?

 

A very slight after taste when I used it in coffee by itself, but almost any flavoring will hide it. I use almond milk.

I use it most often just off a spoon and let it melt in my mouth, there is a little astringent after taste, but its easy to eliminate with a drink of something.

It seems to be fairly versatile, as far as how to use it, a nut butter seems a good fit.

 

I'm getting ready to start the citric acid decarb, the ethanol version since others here have done the vinegar. I think the ethanol will give a better extraction, maybe but since the kief remains in the mix that may not apply here. But I'd rather not have the vinegar aftertaste.

I'm not going to use the heat like BKS because I don't want any heat that could lead to some decarb. It's supposed to have the same reaction except that it takes a little longer.
