2. You need to clarify the butter first

Clarified butter has all of the milk solids, etc, removed. It is these water soluble milk solids that carry chlorophyll, plant waxes, and other undesirable elements in your butter.

If you use clarified butter, you will not have that 'green' taste in your edibles. They taste very clean.

The way I make my clarified butter is I heat melt the butter then heat it til you see that foamy white stuff floating on the top. Take the pan off the stove and let it sit for a couple minutes. Most of the milk solids will form a patty on the bottom of the pan, with the pure butter floating on top.

Skim off any you can from the top, then slowly pour the clear yellow butter off the top into a bowl. Carefully pour the clear butter off the top. The slower you pour, the purer it is. WHen you reach the point you can't pour it without including milk solids, get a spoon and skim off what remaining clear butter you can.

Now you have clarified butter! Use this to make cannabutter and you are good to go!
