Equipment

  • Small mixing bowl
  • Glass jar for calendula infusion (if applicable)
  • Strainer (if infusing calendula)
  • 8 oz glass bottle with a tight-fitting lid
  • Measuring spoons and pipette

Ingredients

  • 2 oz CBD Oil (Full-Spectrum or Isolate)
  • 3 oz Calendula-Infused Oil (or Calendula Oil)
  • 2 oz Jojoba Oil
  • 10 drops Vitamin E Oil
  • 10 Drops Lavender Essential Oil

  • ¼ cup Dried Calendula Flowers (if infusing your own calendula oil)
  • 3 oz Jojoba Oil or Olive Oil (if infusing your own calendula oil)

Instructions

🧴 Prepare Calendula-Infused Oil

  • If you're making calendula-infused oil yourself, place dried calendula flowers (about 1/4 cup) into a glass jar and cover with jojoba oil or olive oil (about 3 oz).
  • Seal the jar and place it in a warm, dark spot for 7–10 days.
  • Shake the jar daily, then strain out the flowers after the infusion period.
  • If you have pre-made calendula oil, you can skip the infusion process.

🧴 Mix the Oils

  • Combine CBD Oil: In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 oz of CBD oil with the calendula-infused oil (or calendula oil).
  • Add Carrier Oils: Add 2 oz of jojoba oil to the mixture for its nourishing properties.
  • Add Vitamin E: Stir in 10 drops of Vitamin E oil for added skin protection and to help preserve the oil.

🧴 Add Essential Oils

  • Add 10 drops of lavender essential oil, 5 drops of frankincense, and 5 drops of chamomile essential oil for their skin-healing and calming properties.
  • Stir well to combine all ingredients.

🧴 Bottle and Store

  • Pour the finished oil into an 8 oz (240 mL) glass bottle with a secure lid.

Betsy’s Infusion Notes:

📝Recipe Notes
📝 Calendula Infusion: For best results, use dried calendula flowers rather than fresh flowers, as they are more concentrated in active compounds. You can use olive oil as a carrier for the infusion if you prefer a more neutral scent.
📝 CBD Oil: Choose full-spectrum CBD oil for the full range of cannabinoids, or CBD isolate for a more neutral, non-THC option.
📝Storage: Store the oil in a cool, dark place. This oil should last for about 6 months with proper storage.
📝Patch Test: If you are unsure about any of the essential oils, it’s best to perform a patch test before applying the oil to larger areas of the skin.
📝 Therapeutic Benefits
This Calendula-CBD Skin Therapy Oil is perfect for professional massage therapists treating clients with dry skin, eczema, or inflammation. Calendula’s anti-inflammatory properties are enhanced by the calming effects of CBD, while the soothing essential oils promote skin healing and overall relaxation. Ideal for massages focusing on skin repair, relaxation, and inflammation relief.

🍴Pro Tip #1

Dosage Tolerance (tap here to read more…)

Remember, everyone’s cannabis dosage tolerance is different. Only you know your tolerance preferences, so listen to your body. If you do not know where to start, go low and start slow!

Below each recipe card (this recipe included!) are Betsy’s recommended calculators that are the most helpful to calculate your final cannabis dosage!

Some people choose to start out by measuring their tolerance levels by eating a pre-dosed gummy purchased from their local dispensary. Typically, a standard gummy should be approx. 10 milligrams per piece. If you eat a whole gummy and it is too potent, start by micro-dosing your meals under 10 mg per serving. If you eat a whole gummy and it is not enough, increase your per serving potency to over 10 mg per serving.

🍴Pro Tip #2

Microwaves & Cannabis (tap here to read more….)

NEVER microwave a cannabis infused food item. The microwave will zap and kill any positive cannabinoid effects.

🍴Pro Tip #3

Infusion-Versatile Recipes (tap here to read more…)

All recipes are infusion-versatile. You do not have to infuse any recipe for excellent results. All recipes can be made without any cannabis infusion at all. You choose whether your meal will be a virgin non-infused meal, a cannabis micro-dosed meal, or a full-bodied cannabis infused meal.

🍴Pro Tip #4

Dynamic User Input (tap here to read more…)

All recipe cards are dynamic! You can adjust the serving sizes, toggle the recipe to “cook mode” so your screen does not go dark while you are preparing food, rate the recipe with stars, save the recipe to your own personal recipe box (if you are a member), add personal notes to each recipe card and create your next shopping list based on your weekly meal planning that can be managed in your recipe box and more!

🍴Pro Tip #5

Combine Multiple Infused Staple Ingredients in one Dish! (tap here to read more….)

Each recipe card provides recommended cannabis infusions. Choose one staple ingredient infusion method or choose several infused ingredients (including tossing in some flower for garnish) to create culinary art perfected to your desired potency in your own kitchen! Use our Mix ‘n Match Potency Calculator if you are trying multiple ingredient infusion methods for one recipe.

Introduction to our Calculators

Below you will find one or more calculators inserted into this post applicable to the above recipe. Before you get started, here are some helpful tips on how to maximize our calculators throughout Grass with Class. Click on the 🤖 Bot Headlines 🤖 below to expand explanations to maximize every aspect of Grass with Class: Cooking with Cannabis.

🤖 How do I read my flower label? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓.

🕵Look at the Potency Percentage Profile on your Flower Label. Depending on the dominancy of the flower (CBD or THC) there will be a line that says either THCA% or CBDA%.
🕵Look for the letter “A” at the end of THC or CBD line item on the label. This is the raw, non-decarboxylated originating estimated potency for your newly purchased flower. Search for the line item on your label that says either “THCA” or “CBDA” depending on the dominant flower you are using. The numbers for this line item will be in the format of two digits a decimal point and two more digits.
👉💡 For example “CBDA 15.75% or THCA 18.72%”. Enter your label percentage into the calculator fields that call for flower label deets.

🤖 Wait, What? A Flower Label? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

If you have “lost” your label 😉, your flower THCA% or CBDA% will range roughly between 15.00% to 25.00%.
👉💡 If you know the strain of your flower, you can look up the general cannabanoid profiles that are typical for that particular strain such as Bubba Kush or Terple Purple. If you have lost your label and you do not know the flower strain, your guess is as good as ours! 🫠
👉💡 If you cannot identify your flower strain type, Betsy Bot recommends that you enter the “ceiling” or highest estimated percentage of 25.00%. per mg/g of flower. Enter this into the calculator fields that call for flower label deets.
👉💡Remember, you can always consume more but you cannot consume less.

🤖 Decarboxylate? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

📌ALL of our Potency Form Calculators assume that you intend to OR already have DECARBOXYLATED your flower. If you do not know how to decarboxylate your flower, Betsy Bot or our FAQs can help you with this step before moving on to your staple ingredient infusion.
👉💡You may notice that the potency of your flower goes down when you decarboxylate, HOWEVER, the bio-availability of flower benefits go UP when you decarb your flower.
👉🧬The decarbed flower bioavailability provides a much better experience for the diner as well as maximizes the medicinal benefits of the flower itself.

🤖 Measuring Flower 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

🌿🌳Our calculators help you determine the approximate milligrams of potency per one (1) Gram of Flower Weight.🌳🌿
📌NOTE: A scale is extremely helpful to weigh your flower plant matter. Kitchen scales and jewelry scales (for micro-dose measurements) are recommended for this PFC.
👉💡Determining your starting milligrams calculation works for both CBD and THC Dominant Flower.

🤖 Flower Weight Guide 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

⚖ 1/8 ounce of Flower = 3.5 grams in weight
⚖ 1/4 ounce of Flower = 7 grams in weight
⚖ 1/2 ounce of Flower = 14 grams in weight
⚖ 1 whole ounce of Flower = 28 grams in weight

🤖 Play Tips 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

🤹PLAY with different flower weights in this calculator until you find the dose you want.
👉💡 For example: If you want to use your herb garnish for 5 servings at 10 mg per serving then your batch of ground flower buds needs to equal at least 50 mg of CBD or THC total, depending on flower dominancy.
👉💡FORMULA: 50 / 5 = 10

🔀 3,840 ml = 768 tsp = 256 TBS = 128 oz = 16 cups = 8 pints = 4 quarts = 3.84 Liters = 1 gallon

🤖 Plan Ahead 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

If you are going to use a Primary or Secondary Staple Ingredient infusion to infuse another treat or meal, plan ahead and make sure your Primary or Secondary Staple Ingredients are potent enough to withstand levels of dilution for your next infusion creation. Your portion potencies will become diluted in larger batch incorporations.
Examples of planning ahead include:
👉💡 adding infused sugar to a batch of cookies
👉💡 incorporating maltodextrin powder into a cake mix
👉💡adding infused honey to sweet & sour sauce
👉💡making deviled eggs with mayonaise

🤖 A Note on Labels 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓

📌 DO NOT FORGET! Make SURE to label your final infusion! The more experienced you become with infusions, the more you will rely on your labels for meals and treats!

📌An example of a final label to stick to your zip lock bag or Tupperware container when using CBD or THC Dominant Flower will look like this:
366.52 mg CBD or THC for entire batch
22.91 mg CBD or THC per Tablespoon portion.
