Making butter from sugar leaf or flower is best facilitated by decarboxylating the flower by baking at 220F for 30 minutes. Decarboxylation is the chemical reaction achieved by raising the cannabis to a temperature where it releases a carboxyl group whereby becoming psychoactive. Adding a small amount of water will facilitate an emulsion separation and help remove the fine plant matter that makes it through the screen filter.
