Updated and expanded - Super Potent Canna-Brownies

After many trials and errors, I now feel confident enough about my process to share
I have added some comments about *coconut oil and **soy lecithin granules at the bottom

Canna Brownies

Here is my basic brownie recipe

1 cup sugar
1/2 c flour
1/2 c cocoa
1/2 c canna-oil
1/4 c water
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt

*other items you will need

- oven thermometer ***you should never trust your ovens temp***
- medium-mesh wire strainer
- fine-mesh 'grease' strainer
- soy lecithin granules
- pyrex dish

First and foremost you must decarb your herb. I have a fairly steady source so I have a certain way I decarb mine. First I break it down as if I were gonna grind it up. Then add it to a pyrex dish and put it in a cold oven. Turn temp to 225f and let roast for 20-35min. The herb should be so dry it crumbles into powder. Run the herb thru a medium-mesh strainer then thru a fine-mesh 'grease' strainer. You should have a real fine herb powder at this point.

I then add 1/2 cup (or whatever amount your recipe calls for) coconut oil and 1/2 tablespoon soy lecithin to the pyrex dish. Turn the oven to 250f and let cook till the soy has melted, about 30-40 minutes, then add the herb. Stir the oil/herb/soy mix every 15-20 minutes and cook for at least 3 hours (you could go as long as 6)

Remove from oven and let it cool for about 20 minutes and stir in about 1/4-1/2 cup water (not the water from the recipe). The soy will allow the water and oil to mix. Let this soy/herb/oil/water mixture thicken. Add to the 'fridge if needed, but keep a close watch on it. You don't want the herb to settle to the bottom when it gets solid. You want it floating in the oil as much as possible when it finally solidifies. Put this in the freezer overnight. The ice crystals will crack open the herb and allow more of the cannabinoids to escape the plant.

Remove from freezer and put in a cold oven and turn to 250f.
Once its fully melted you need to boil off the water.
Stir every 15 minutes until it stops foaming/bubbling
shouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes to boil the water off

once you have a calm non-bubbly oil
cook for another 3-6 hours, stirring every 15-20 minutes

Once it's cooled you're ready to use it in your brownies.

Do not strain the herb out of the oil
it's fine enough that you will not notice it in the brownie
I just add all of it to the mix/recipe and cook normally.

Just do not cook above 300f since you can destroy all the goodies above that temp.

* Coconut oil is far better than any oil I've tried to date. Butter kinda sucked, olive oil sucked HARD but this coconut oil worked really well and freezes well too. It's 90% saturated fat and that's what cannabis binds to best. So if you've not tried it yet I strongly advise you to do so. just by changing to this coconut oil you will see a big potency increase....guaranteed :thumbup:

** Soy Lecithin is used in most food to assist in food uptake/bio-availability. You can get a huge jar of granules for ~$20 (amazon.com) that will last a LONG time. It helps the cannabis bind to the oil and helps your body absorb it. It also adds a little heat protection from what I've been told.
