Well, the way I've been doing it is by simmering leaf and harvest trimmings in water and butter for about 2 hours on a very low simmer. You dont want to bring it to a complete boil because the butter will infuse with the leaf and you'll end up with alot less butter at the end. I use about 4 ounces of trimmings for a pound of butter. You want to simmer it with water because THC is not water solluble, and it all goes into the butter, while the water seperates the chlorophyl, (the green, untasty stuff) Then strain the leaf out, pour hot water through the strained leaf to get any residue that might have saturated in the leaf, and put the water/butter mix in the fridge over night. By the next morning, the canibutter has solidified and seperated from the nasty water. Trust me, you dont want anything to do with the water or strained leaf. There is absolutly no THC in it. So just pour it out. And there's your butter to cook with what ever you want to make. Just follow whatever recipie that calls for butter. This ratio of trimmings to butter has made some VERY potent butter. I've used 1/4 cup (or 1 stick) of butter in some penut butter cookies that just made me stupid high. Im a daily smoker, and I couldn't function in public on these!
