You gotta use water buddy or your bud will burn and degrade.

You could simmer the buds in milk and go for a milk based drink

So NOT true!!!
You do NOT "Need" to use a bain-marie, but you can if you want to. Cooking can burn weed, but does not have too, if done correctly.

If you intend to do as you say however, make sure you use a very low heat and maybe just three minutes? Personally, I prefer this method and find the end product far stronger and more useful than the usual bain-marie method. I do not sieve out the weed either, but prefer to solidify the whole lot once "done" in the pan, and use accordingly.

Purists and other health freak types will say this means I ma eating little spikes on the leaves which can puncture my stomach lining. Bollox. Been doing this off and on most of my life now, and after 40 years of so doing my stomach is still A-OK. TBH, I don't believe a word about these little "spikes" or whatever folks call them. They are invisible without a magnifier and IMO this means they are of no danger if consumed after cooking, or even before it. Some veggies & fruits have far stouter defences on them, Gooseberry anyone?!

This happened with my last week mate. I left mine in the fridge for +12 hours and it didnt set, was gutted.

I think i know where i went wrong this time, i used cheap butter from the local paper shop and it just wouldnt set?
