How to Make Cannabis-Infused Basil Oil (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Decarboxylate Your Cannabis
If you’re new to cooking with cannabis, this step is essential.
Raw cannabis won’t get you high or provide its full therapeutic effects unless it’s decarboxylated, a fancy word meaning “activated by heat.” Without it, you’re just cooking with green leaves!
Here’s how to decarboxylate cannabis easily with the herb cooker:
Step 2: Infuse the Cannabis Directly in the Noids
Right after decarboxylation, keep the cannabis in the herb cooker.
After the cycle, strain the oil using a fine mesh filter.
Step 3: Prepare the Basil Oil
Step 4: Assemble the Skewers
Take a step back. Look at what you’ve created: color, fragrance, life on a plate.
