Recipe Refined coconut oil cannabis extraction.

Well hello folks. I’ve had some bud trim laying around, generally frozen, for about 10 years now.
So I finally got around to trying a cannabis extraction with refined coconut oil.
Here are the results.




Gonna make some double chocolate brownies with added dark chocolate morsels.
Then I’ll probably eat one tonight. Might try some straight oil into my coffee in the morning.

 

Oh!
If you want the receipe for the above, just ask. I’ll post it.

 

Mostly my kitchen and space tribe t-shirt.
In the bowl is a water/cocanut oil cannabis extract that has been chilled in my freezer. The active components are in the top layer of cocoanut oil that has turned solid due to being in the freezer. The lower part is the water.

To extract the desired elements I simmered several handfuls of bud trim in 8 cups of water and about 2 lbs of cocanut oil for about 16-18 hours. Then I separated out the herb, poured the fluid into the bowl and set in the freezer to seperate.

Once the oil is solid, the water can be poured off. I then put the oil into a jar for storage.

 

well, why what?
If you like edibles, a butter or coconut oil extraction is very easy, potent and flexible in use.
You can even make suppositories with this.
I choose refined coconut oil as it was supposed to not go rancid. I’ve since learned that coconut oil is rumored to be more potent than butter.
That scares me a bit actually.
I generally prefer to not eat the cellulose component of cannabis and the water washes out a lot of undesirable constituents that don’t enhance the buzz at all.

 

Probably and no offense taken. Although saying I am doing it WRONG without offering better information is pretty slack of you. If you have better/different information, be a bro and drop a link.

I don’t mind chlorophyll. In this form any way. A quick look around the internet had various extraction times recommended for this method.
I like taking too long rather than too short. Being in a hurry is not my style.There are a lot of factors in this sort of extraction. The amount of extraction that occurs is affected, to some degree, by the amount of material, the relative heat, the efficacy of the oil used, etc.. Additionally, decarboxylation takes place, and there are variables that affect that.

I’ve used this method with butter and it’s always delivered a delightfully powerful experience. If. I was running a factory with production goals I would care about efficiency. This? Meh. I’m here to enjoy myself, not run a race.

 

gentle heat is the primary reason, but the water extracts undesirable elements. Note the color of the water. None of that gunk will have any positive effects.
So end result is more pure and concentrated.

 

You did get me thinking however so thank you. I’ve always made Cannabis extract from butter, and now coconut oil, and added it to tasty food. It’s always been delish.

But if I were to add it to my coffee, as suggested by another member here, I may wish to refine the extraction time to improve/refine the taste. At least. Similar to how tea should only be steeped for 5 minutes. Unless you cover the taste (cream & sugar for instance) and like your tea strong. Chai tea is the same concept.

 

Oh
Boy

First batch of brownies are in the oven!

 

Oh
My
Gawd

I’ve done it again. Edibles so delicious that they are dangerous. I’ve perfected the brownie mix I buy and I have a new counter top oven that I spent waaay too much money on. Results are a perfect brownie with that intoxicating cannabis flavor that screams at you to eat more.
Must
Resist!

I’ve had one brownie. That will be all for tonight. Science and all of that.

 

That’s very kind of you, thank you.
