I had never heard of boiling the water with the butter until about a year ago, when my girlfriend bought me a cannabis cookboook in NYC as a souvenir. I have always simmered the butter over a double boiler, and continue to do so. However, I like the addition of oil here. I suppose it helps put a layer of fat between the butter and the water when it separates. My question is: Why would you put sugar in it? As someone who is fairly serious about cooking, I like to keep my ingredients separate, and I have made many things with cannabutter that were not desserts. Do you know if the sugar serves a purpose? It seems like it would just dissolve in the water, and make everything sticky.
