How to Make Cannabis-Infused Cream (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Decarboxylate Your Cannabis
Decarbing is non-negotiable. Raw cannabis won’t deliver THC unless activated by heat.
Using the herb cooker:
- Add 5 g of cannabis flower to the glass container
- Select Decarb Mode
- Let the full cycle run, the device will handle temp and timing
Step 2: Infuse the Cream
- After decarb, add 1 cup (≈ 240 ml) of heavy cream to the same glass
- Select Oil Mode and let it infuse
- Strain using a fine mesh filter
- Store in a clean jar in the fridge for up to 5 days
Dosage Tip: Use a potency calculator if you’re unsure.
