Kief butter is easy to make and has a lighter and less offensive flavor than regular cannabutter. All you need is kief, butter, and a spare couple of hours!
Kief is the collection of trichomes and crystals that break of from your bud once your grind your weed. If you own a grinder with a kief collector, you must have discovered that kief is great to use in your joint, for twaxing your joints, and you can even make hash with it. But did you know it can be used to make an excellent ingredient for cooking with cannabis?
Kief butter lacks the chlorophyll concentration of full-bud cannabutter, meaning it’ll taste more like ordinary butter and less like the garden. Plus, it requires only a very short cook time, meaning it won’t go green or brown as cannabutter often does. As an extra bonus, this recipe is fast and easy, and won’t fill your kitchen with strong cannabis fumes!
