Choosing the right ingredients and equipment for Marrakech butter
Here are the ingredients you need to make your Marrakech butter.
Choosing CBD flowers
Choose flowers that are rich in CBD and low in THC, grown naturally or organically. Opt for varieties with aromas you enjoy (fruity, spicy, earthy) as these will influence the final taste of the butter. Well-dried and crumbled flowers ensure better infusion and balanced potency.
Choosing butter
Use a mild butter that is high in fat (at least 80%). The higher the fat content, the better it will retain the cannabinoids. Farmhouse or organic butter will give a creamier texture and a more authentic taste. Avoid low-fat butters, which contain too much water and alter the quality of the mixture. And above all, do not use margarine, as it contains too much water and additives (processed vegetable oils, emulsifiers, colorants).
Essential equipment
You will need a grinder to grind the flowers, a sieve or small strainer to filter out plant residue, a saucepan or double boiler, a wooden spatula, a glass jar, and a clean cloth for filtering.
Our recipe for Marrakech butter
First, decarboxylate your flowers: remove the leaves, crumble them, then spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them in the oven at 110°C for 30 to 40 minutes. This step activates the cannabinoids and maximizes the effects of CBD.
Melt your butter in a saucepan or double boiler with a little water to prevent it from burning. Add the decarboxylated CBD and let it infuse over low heat for about two to three hours, stirring occasionally. Slow cooking allows the fat to absorb the active ingredients and aromas of the flowers.
Once cooked, strain the mixture through a fine sieve or clean cloth to remove any plant residue. Pour the butter while still hot into a glass container and leave to cool before placing in the refrigerator.
Your Marrakech CBD butter is ready! It can be stored for several weeks in the refrigerator and several months in the freezer.
How to consume Marrakech butter
Marrakech butter is mainly used in cooking. It's a gentle and enjoyable way to enjoy the effects of cannabinoids. You can use it to make baked goods such as space cookies, brownies, or cakes by simply replacing some of the butter in the original recipe with your infused butter.
It can also be incorporated into savory dishes, such as sauces, pasta, or sautéed vegetables, to add an aromatic and relaxing touch.
It is important to dose gradually: start with small amounts to assess the potency of your Marrakech butter. CBD acts more slowly when ingested, with effects that can be felt after 30 minutes to 2 hours.
To preserve its properties, avoid heating butter to very high temperatures, as this can degrade the cannabinoids. Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container to extend its shelf life and preserve its flavors. The freezer is also a goodway to store it for long-term preservation.
Why the name: Marrakech butter?
Marrakech butter takes its name from the iconic Moroccan city known for its culinary culture. The name evokes both exoticism and tradition, while recalling the lands where kief originated.
Originally, Marrakech butter was another way of consuming cannabis. As you know, there are differences between consuming CBD by inhalation and by ingestion. This infused butter is primarily used for its relaxing and recreational effects.
It became popular in the 1960s and 1970s, thanks in particular to travelers and hippies who discovered another way of consuming cannabis in Morocco, often incorporated into local pastries.
Marrakech butter is also an ancient medicinal technique. The name "Marrakech butter" has remained, even though the preparation has adapted over time and is now made all over the world. It symbolizes ancestral know-how combining gustatory pleasure and relaxation.
