Choosing the right ingredients and equipment for Marrakech butter
Here are the ingredients to make your Marrakech butter a success.
Choosing CBD flowers
We opt for flowers rich in CBD and low in THC, grown naturally or organically. Choose varieties with aromas you enjoy (fruity, spicy, earthy) because they influence the final taste of the butter. Well-dried and crumbled flowers guarantee a better infusion and balanced potency.
Choosing the butter
Use unsalted butter, rich in fat (minimum 80 %). The fattier it is, the better it will retain the cannabinoids. Farm or organic butter will offer a creamier texture and a more authentic taste. Avoid light butters, which contain too much water and alter the quality of the mixture. And above all, do not use margarine because it contains too much water and additives (processed vegetable oils, emulsifiers, colorings).
Essential equipment
You will need a grinder to crumble the flowers, a sieve or small strainer to filter the plant residues, a saucepan or double boiler, a wooden spatula, a glass jar and a clean tea towel for filtering.
Our Marrakech butter recipe
First, decarboxylate your flowers: strip them, crumble them, then spread them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake them 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 cooking is finished, filter the mixture using a fine sieve or a clean cloth to remove the plant residues. Pour the still-hot butter into a glass container and let it cool before placing it in the refrigerator.
Your CBD Marrakech butter is ready! It keeps for several weeks in the refrigerator and several months in the freezer.
How to consume your Marrakech butter
Marrakech butter is mainly consumed in cooking. It is a gentle and pleasant way to enjoy the effects of cannabinoids. You can use it to prepare pastries, such as space cookies, brownies or cakes, simply by replacing part 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 quantities to assess the potency of your Marrakech butter. CBD acts more slowly when ingested, with an effect that can be felt after 30 minutes to 2 hours.
To preserve its properties, avoid heating the butter at 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 good long-term storage method.
Why the name: Marrakech butter?
Marrakech butter takes its name from the iconic Moroccan city known for its culinary culture. This name evokes both exoticism and tradition, while reminding us of the lands where kief originated.
Originally, Marrakech butter is another way to consume cannabis. Because, 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, notably thanks to travelers and hippies who discovered in Morocco another way to consume cannabis, often incorporated into local pastries.
Marrakech butter is also an ancestral medicine technique. The name “Marrakech butter” has remained, even if the preparation has adapted over time and is now made all over the world. It symbolizes ancestral know-how combining gustatory pleasure and relaxation.
