Since the herb is now decarb'd it can be properly ingested by the body.
I've done a few things over the years with it:
Firecrackers - grab some peanutbutter and crackers. Load up a cracker with PB (and jelly if desired), then sprinkle on some ABV and enjoy
Yogurt - mix in some ABV with yogurt to conceal the flavor. Easy to eat a lot of ABV this way hahaha.
Chocolate milkshake - delicious and blends nicely with the ABV flavor.
Sous-vide budder - I use a sous vide heated to 180F. I put 1/2 a cup of ABV per one four-ounce stick of budder, with a quarter cup of water and some coconut oil into a bag and put that in the sous vide for four hours. Then I strain the contents using a french-press and pour into silicone molds which I pop into the freezer. After an hour I crack open the molds and pour out the black "water" (which contains all the grit and sediment from the ABV) - this lets me have nice fresh sticks of budder with no ice or black ABV sediment. I then bake edibles with the budder (NOTE, I always bake edibles at 325F and extend baking time to ensure I don't cook off too many active compounds from the ABV). I also like to make Rice-Krispy treats since they require a lot of budder.
Pro tip: Hate the flavor of your ABV? You can "water-cure" it to eliminate that flavor. Put some ABV in a cheesecloth and wrap it up, then flush with COLD Water until water runs clear through cheesecloth.
Awesome reply. Thanks for the detail! The sous vide idea sounds particularly wild!
I had absolutely no idea you could use the ABV 🤦🏽♂️ I have been washing it down the drain like a dingus this whole time. Any suggestions on storage? Thanks for the great break down by the way!
Hahaha, some people like to save it and use it for all sorts of stuff. Others just trash it since they've extracted most of what they wanted.
I usually keep mine in a large air-tight tightvac container. What I do is use one of my Toothpick Debowlers or Vape Spittoon to catch a few ounces of spent material. Then I dump it into the larger air-tight container as needed. Since the material is dried/cooked, it stores very well - never had an issue with mold buildup or anything in the large jumbo tightvac container I use.
Enjoy your newfound bonus of dry vaporizing haha
Yeah so I’ve been messing around with it since I read your comment. It’s sick! I had a really nice high off it the other night sprinkling a bunch on top of peanut butter and graham crackers, nice treat.
I’ll take a look at the links. Thanks again 🤙🏽
Just remember friends, AVK is much stronger than AVB.
Note: B = Bud K = Kief
