Decarboxylating Raw Flower with LĒVO
Before you begin the steps for this recipe, plan the time it will take to infuse the buttermilk for this recipe. Before you infuse the buttermilk, you must first decarboxylate the raw flower.
We recommend the default “Activate” cycle on LĒVO machines. Make sure the pod protector is at the bottom of your herb pod, then add coarsely ground or broken up flower or shake to the pod, pop the lid on, and place a pod or two inside your LĒVO. You don’t need the magnetic stirrer for this cycle, and you should not have any liquid in the reservoir for this step. Then press Activate and Start. Your LĒVO will warm up and complete an optimized Decarb cycle.
Infused Buttermilk Recipe
To infuse the buttermilk for the ranch dipping sauce, you will need 1 cup of buttermilk and 3.5 grams of the decarboxylated flower per Power Pod. If you have two Pods, you can infuse 7 grams per cup of buttermilk. You can always adjust the recipe’s proportions in case you want to use more or less flower. You can easily control the potency of each serving.
You don't want to overheat the milk as it can impact the flavor and nutrients or cause it to burn. Keep the temperature below 165°F when infusing dairy. We recommend infusing for 45-60 minutes between 150-165°F.
Once you have 1 cup of infused buttermilk,
you will need the following ingredients for the
ranch dipping sauce:
- ½ cup infused buttermilk
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon dill
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream and botanically-infused buttermilk. Stir in the dill, parsley, chives,, lemon juice, and paprika. Set aside the dipping sauce as you prepare and cook the Dorito chicken tenders. Refrigerate the ranch sauce if you plan to serve the Dorito chicken tenders later in the day.
