All Day Cooking with CBD Hemp Flower Infused Olive Oil

Cooking with CBD Hemp flower has many possibilities but there are a few rules that you should follow. CBD is fat-soluble so your body absorbs it best when paired with fat-containing foods like olive oil.  Cannabinoids like CBD are drawn to fats so when you infuse olive oil, coconut oil, MCT or avocado oil, it has a carrier to make the CBD most effective in your body.

If you are wanting to keep your “cannabis kitchen” well stocked so that you have at your finger-tips the ingredients you need for baking or cooking, you will want CBD hemp flower infused olive oil.

You will need the following ingredients to make the hemp flower infused olive oil:

• Combine 3 ½ grams of hemp flower into 1 cup of olive oil \’\’and place both in a 16 oz Mason jar.
• Seal tightly.
• Fill a small saucepan with 3-inches of water \’\’and place the Mason jar in the pan on low heat.
• With a c\’\’andy thermometer, bring the water to a boil at 200 degrees F for 2 ½ to 3 hours. (Do not exceed 211 degrees F.)
• Add water to the saucepan as needed as the water boils away.
• Remove Mason jar safely with an oven mitt \’\’and let cool.
• Have a clean sterilized Mason jar with a cheese cloth in a fine strainer over the mouth
