Alright, so after my last harvest (Super Lemon Haze), I made 2lbs of cannabutter with approximately 4 ounces of middle-high grade trim + popcorn buds. Decent ratio, right? I let it dry, blended it into almost a powder, then simmered it in a water / butter mixture for about 6-8 hours for each pound (1lb on two different days).
The butter? It's good. It gets me high. But wow, does it ever make my baked goods taste like absolute ass. It's at the point now where I have had about 1.7 lbs of butter in my freezer for almost 2 months, and I just have no desire to go near it. It's a real plant-y taste that I just can't shake.
To cover the taste, I've used:
-garlic bread (BAD)
-regular toast + a chaser of a tasty drink (BAD)
-chocolate chip cookies (bad)
-oatmeal cookies + peanut butter on top (the best combo, but still very bad lol)
Now I know people might tell me to bake them into brownies, but I've made brownies before and I just don't think they will be able to cover this taste...
So here's what I'm thinking. The THC is currently in the butter. To the best of my knowledge, it is dissolved in the lipids of the butter (not chemically bonded I don't think, just dissolved). Please, somebody correct me if I'm wrong on the chemistry there.
What I want to do is get all my THC back. I want to concentrate it into a form that doesn't make me want to gag when I eat it. Are there methods that exist, or that you can think of, of adding a solvent or running the cannabutter through an extraction process to get my THC back. Something like adding isopropanol? I really have no idea.
If anybody wants to share some ideas or help me figure out a method, I'm all ears!
(Thanks everyone!)
