Back to the beginners: you can not, I repeat can NOT skip the decarbing portion of today’s activities.

Decarboxylation simply means heating up your weed. We do this so that you can properly bake or cook with it, and so that THC is evenly distributed.

Here’s an easy explanation and video below.

Cannabutter can go in just about anything from cookies to coffee – so enjoy, get good at this, and let’s continue on to the recipe!

Roasting Garlic How-To

The best and easiest way to roast garlic is to place the entire knob on a parchment-paper-lined cookie sheet on 240 F, for about 20 minutes.

Much like edible dosing, you want to go low and slow.

Once it’s golden brown around the edges, remove from oven and carefully remove the skin. It should come off easily!

Garlic will now be sweeter, and have a gorgeous fragrance to it which is to die for!

Chop it up unto small pieces, because the recipe relies on it!
