How To Make Herb Butter At Home

This recipe is from Carter Hickey.

What you need for the "mounds":

• ECRU Decarb Kit

• 1 cup of butter

• 1/4 oz of high quality dried herb

Step 1: Decarb the herb

"The Decarb Kit is simple to use and has minimal smell!" - Carter Hickey

1. Decarb the dried herb. Preheat your oven to 248ºF. Place the dried herb on the ECRU Decarb Kit glass pan. Cover the glass pan with the smell proof silicone lid. Insert the thermometer sensor stick to the center of the lid. Insert the kit set into the oven. Set the thermometer to any mode you want. When the micro temperature inside the glass box reaches the preset, the countdown will start automatically. Wait for the alarm to sound and your decarboxylation cycle is done.

Other Steps:

1. Grind. Grind the decarbed herb with a grinder.

2. Melt the butter. Keep oven temperature at 210ºF. Add 1 cup of butter into the glass box. Put the glass pan into the microwave and let the butter melt.

3. Add the herb. Add your ground herb to the pan.

4. Simmer. Maintain 210ºF for 2 to 3 hours.

5. Let cool of the mixture.

6. Filter the herb butter. Line the mason jar with cheesecloth or a sieve. Pour the herb butter over the cheesecloth or sieve and let it drain. Try not to squeeze the cheesecloth, as chlorophyll will make your herb butter taste bad.

7. Refrigerate the butter. You can refrigerate your mason jar or simply put the herb butter back into the glass pan. The lid is airtight and it has high thermo impact. It's a good storage option.

8. Serve carefully. Please refer to any serving information from the chart below and the herb variety you picked. Too large a serving of an infused treat can be very uncomfortable and may cause serious psychological and physical side effects.

Tips for serving infused treats

The strength of your infused treats depends on several factors, from the herb variety you choose to storage, or even how long and at what temperature you treated the herb. For a safe first serving, try to spread 1/4 teaspoon on a snack and see how that serving affects you after an hour. First-time users must be very careful with their serving size.
