Equipment

  • raw organic butter
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • heavy bottomed pot
  • spoon
  • glass jar with lid
  • paper towel or cheesecloth
  • measuring cup

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2-1 pound butter (raw organic is best)

Instructions
 

  • Chop butter into small pieces and put in your saucepan. *room temperature butter will make the process go faster but you can use cold butter as well
  • Melt your butter on low-medium heat, making sure to stir the bottom to prevent the butter from burning
  • Once the butter is melted, simmer on low to medium heat until the milk solids have fallen to the bottom and turned golden brown (10-20 minutes, more time for more butter)
  • Strain through a tightly-woven strainer like a coffee filter, paper towel, cheese cloth, or flour sack towel. Use a measuring cup to strain your ghee into
  • Pour the strained ghee into a clean sterilized glass jar and store at room temp for up to 6 months, or in the fridge for up to 1 year
