How To Make Cannabis Tincture

Great news! You can make full-spectrum cannabis tinctures in your own kitchen with almost no work. Formerly, this job was a messy and dangerous chemistry experiment involving flammable liquids and a stove top burner (not a great combination). Now, the MagicalButter machine makes it easy and safe to create your own cannabis tincture.

Cannabis Tincture

Cycle time: 4-8 hours

Yield: 2-5 cups

Ingredients

• ¼-1 ounce botanicals per cup*, decarbed
• 2-5 cups Everclear grain alcohol, 151 or 190 proof (or vegetable glycerin)

How-to

1. Place the ingredients inside your MagicalButter machine, and secure the lid.
2. Press the Temperature button, and select 130°F (if your model’s lowest option is 160°F, use that setting). Then, press the 4 Hours/Tincture or 8 Hours button (8-hour tincture will have a stronger flavor and deeper intensity).
3. After the cycle is complete, unplug the unit at the outlet, and remove the head of the appliance.  Put on your LoveGlove cooking glove, and pour the pitcher contents slowly through a Purify filter into a dark glass container.

Important:

CAUTION: MATERIALS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. Could cause injury. Never use an open flame, natural gas or propane burner, or permit smoking around the cooking process.

Minimum capacity is 2 cups. Maximum capacity is 5 cups.

Chef’s Notes

For best results, do not pre-grind botanicals. Adjust botanical weight according to personal preference.

Do not add water or lecithin.

Refrigerate or store your Magical Tincture in a cool, dry place. Properly stored, alcohol tinctures may keep indefinitely.
