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:

Lightly grind your cannabis flower (not too fine).
Place the cannabis inside the glass container beaker.
Set the device to decarb mode and let it run.

Step 2: Infuse the Cannabis Directly in the Noids

Right after decarboxylation, keep the cannabis in the herb cooker.

Add 240 ml extra-virgin olive oil.
Set the Noids to the infusion setting.
Let the machine gently infuse the oil for you, no babysitting required!

After the cycle, strain the oil using a fine mesh filter.

Step 3: Prepare the Basil Oil

Blanch the fresh basil leaves:
Quickly dip into boiling water for 10 seconds, then immediately plunge into ice water.
Dry the basil thoroughly.
In a blender, combine the blanched basil with about 120 ml (half a cup) of your cannabis-infused olive oil.
Blend until smooth.
Strain again to remove any solids, resulting in a vibrant green basil cannabis oil.

Step 4: Assemble the Skewers

On each skewer, thread a mozzarella ball, cherry tomato, and fresh basil leaf.
Arrange on a serving plate.
Drizzle generously with your infused basil oil.
Sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked pepper.

Take a step back. Look at what you’ve created: color, fragrance, life on a plate.
