Related: About this forumAnother batch of Canna/Coconut Oil
I'm very impressed with the potency of this batch of oil. I grew a different strain this time...White Widow. Very strong. 1 ml and I'm relaxed but can function just fine. It's a body relaxation that for me borders on being blissful but my mind is not wandering like when stoned. 4 mls and I'm baked and ready for bed. It's good for sleep in that quantity although the high can be distracting as you drift off.
I made some brownies also I substituted 5 of 8 tablespoons the recipe called for with my magic oil.
One half a brownie equals about 4 mls of goodness so I haven't tried a whole brownie and probably won't...lol.
Here's how I made it.
Grew White Widow autoflowers.
Making canna/coconut oil.
These flowers smell intense and are very sticky.
Recipe:
36 grams cut up and decarbed flowers (60 min @ 240°F in a Pryex baking dish with lid).
24 fl oz of Dr Bronner's Organic Coconut Oil.
1 heaping tablespoon of Sunflower Lecithin powder.
MBM2e (Magical Butter Machine 2e)
Two 1 hour cycles @ 190F.
Two 1 hour cycles @ 160F.
I strain it of course with the provided micro screen.
I have these cool silicone chocolate molds the shape of Hershey Kisses I fill with a big eye dropper type syringe.
Then into the freezer to harden up.
Then into vacuum seal bags and into the refrigerator.
I also fill triple 0 capsules and store in the refrigerator. I squeeze them out and dissolve in my mouth for better effect than swallowing the capsule.
Caps = 1ml
Kisses = 4ml
Peace/Love

Been thinking of investing in the Butter Machine for better temperature control, etc. How long have you used it? Do you think it's worth the money? Is there an advantage to sunflower lecithin over soy?
Thanks for the recipe and for sharing.

I think it's worth it. It simplifies things.
I've read powdered sunflower lecithin is best.

(27,276 posts)5. Thanks, will look into the sunflower lecithin..
and, as often as I'm making butter, the machine does look simple. Hard to maintain temp control on the stove, especially an electric.
