How to make RSO infused Butter & Coconut Oil
by Keivan K, Social Media Manager
Have you ever wanted to make infused butter or coconut oil but didn’t want to deal with the lengthy process of infusing it with cannabis flower? This RSO infusion method is quick and easy; have your butter ready in 5 minutes!
Step 1. Pick out your RSO
There are so many amazing brands out there that offer a wide variety of options to choose from! Take your time deciding whether you want to go for an indica, sativa, or hybrid strain, or if you lean more towards a CBD strain of RSO. It's all about finding what works best for you and your preferences!
Step 2. Soften RSO
Just place the syringe in a cup of hot water for about 5-10 minutes. This will help the RSO become less solid and flow much more easily when dispensing it from the syringe.
Step 3. Melt your butter or coconut oil.
In this tutorial, we used butter but If you don't eat butter, coconut oil is a great substitute. When it comes to using butter, we suggest using 1 stick for every 1 gram of RSO that you plan to use. However, if you opt for coconut oil, we recommend using 4 ounces for every 1 gram of RSO. However, that is totally up to you, depending on your tolerance and how you plan to use it. See below for our dosing guide for more information! Now, here's what you need to do: Start by melting your butter or coconut oil slowly. We used a microwave and heated it in 10-second intervals for 30 seconds or until melted. Once it's completely melted, set it aside and get ready for the next step.
Step 4. Mix in the RSO
Just go ahead and mix in your RSO syringe all the way into the melted butter or coconut oil, and give it a gentle stir. Once everything is fully mixed, you can either let it sit to harden or add it directly to your recipe if it calls for melted butter.
Now you’re done! It’s that easy! See below for a dosing guide!
RSO infused Dosing guide:
If your 1 gram of RSO is 70.0% THC, that would equal 700mg of THC. Simply move over the decimal point one number to the right to find your total THC mg count. Use this calculation to determine how much THC is in your butter or coconut oil. If you have a low tolerance, you can always choose to use a small amount instead of the whole syringe to make your edibles less strong.
