Measure the infused ingredient
Measure the cannabutter and unsalted butter separately. See the cannabutter guide and the THC potency calculator for your own infusion.
Dose deliberately: potency depends entirely on the strength and amount of your infusion. Calculate the full batch, divide evenly and label infused food clearly. Effects from edibles can be delayed.
GATHER & MEASURE
Ingredients
Butters and herbs
Garlic, lemon and seasoning
Grate the garlic finely so it disperses through the butter.
FROM PREP TO FINISH
Make it, step by step
Blend the two softened butters
Stir plain butter and cannabutter together until completely uniform.
Fold in the herbs, garlic and lemon
Fold in parsley, chives, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Taste the seasoning without consuming a full serving; adjust salt, lemon and pepper as needed.
Roll the log and chill
Scrape onto parchment, shape into a tight log and twist the ends. Chill at least 30 minutes.
Slice equal portions
Mark or slice the log into 16 equal tablespoon portions so dosing stays consistent.
Use a measured portion on bread, pasta, vegetables, potatoes or cooked proteins after they come off intense direct heat.
Questions about Green Goddess Garlic Butter
Can I freeze cannabis compound butter?
Yes. Freeze pre-portioned slices up to three months in an airtight container.
What herbs can I substitute?
Dill, basil, tarragon or cilantro can replace part of the parsley and chives.
Can I cook with it over high heat?
It is better as a finishing butter. High direct heat can scorch milk solids and degrade flavor.
