I had some ABV left over from my pax adventures so I decided to use about half of it to make some coconut oil capsules.
I took 10 grams of ABV that's mainly been through heat level 3 and 4 on the pax. I added another 10 grams of lecithin and ground it fine in a food processor. You can use a pestal and mortar instead. The aim is to get it as fine as possible so the largest surface area is in contact with the oil.
You are supposed to only just cover the ground up ABV with coconut oil which equates to about 50 ml, but I doubled it as my missus who doesn't smoke and hardly drinks fancied trying some so I doubled up and put in 100ml of oil as I can always double up on tabs.
I put this in a bowl inside a veg steamer and simmered for 2 hours, then into the freezer for 2 hours. The freezing is supposed to break the trichomes extracting as much of the good stuff as possible. Amazingly there was no smell of weed, more a nutty chocolate smell, nice!
I repeated the cycle so that the oil was cooked and frozen 4 times altogether over 2 days. I strained this through a metal sieve and then through a coffee filter which is a right messy carry on! Might not do this again as quite a bit got wasted because of my impatience
I took a cardboard box and poked a load of holes in with a screwdriver, placed in the gel caps and filled with a syringe. Got about 70 tabs out of it in total which included some samples along the way
70 tabs equates to roughly 0.14 g of ABV per cap, again I could have done less oil and made double the strength but as this was my first venture into edibles I was being cautious.
I've had a couple of samples and the cooking /freezing cycle really works well. 3 of these babies glues me to the couch for hours. Great body stone. Seriously do not have any of these if you have things to do!
Enjoy!
