Cannabis Infused Muscle Cream
Yield: 350 ml
Time to Make: 3 - 4 hours
Ingredients / Equipment
225 grams unrefined shea butter
125 ml almond oil, jojoba oil, or grapeseed oil
20 - 40 drops of peppermint essential oil (you can substitute for any essential oil)
LEVO II machine or crock pot or stone pot or double boiler

Dried flower (Weight will depend on how much THC you want. More flower = more THC, less flower = less THC. You can also use CBD flower)
Instructions
Break up the dried flower into small pieces or use a grinder.
Decarboxylate the dried flower for 30 - 40 minutes at 200 - 240 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are using a Levo, you will directly add the flower into the herb pod or directly into the Levo with a coffee filter lined inside. If you are using other methods, decarb the flower by laying out parchment paper on a sheet pan and heat up the flower in the oven.
Once the flower is decarboxylated, add the shea butter and almond oil into your machine or pot and infuse / cook on low for 2.5 - 3 hours at ~125 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are using the Levo machine, you can set it and forget it. If you are using a stove top or crock pot method, ensure that you are periodically stirring the oil and cannabis to ensure that it does not burn or stick to the pot.
Once the oil is finished infusing, dispense just the oil into a glass jar (preferably dark coloured glass jar to prevent oxidization). If you used the pot method, use a cheese cloth or fine strainer to catch all the flower.
Allow the liquid to solidify into cream form - this will take approximately half a day.
Once the cream is more solid, you can apply it to anywhere on your body (except open wounds). I like to use it for sore neck, muscles, and tight ankles. Enjoy!
