HOMEMADE GHEE

2 cups, 60-120 mins

INGREDIENTS

• 4 sticks unsalted organic butter

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt the butter in a medium pot over low heat (this depends on the stove, but it should be one of the lowest settings that your stovetop goes).

2. Allow to sit on the stove over low heat until it starts to turn golden brown, keep an eye on it throughout. This takes between 60 mins - 2 hours (depending on your stove) so make sure you are around your kitchen or in your house for that period of time.

3. You may notice popping sounds as you are cooking your ghee. When the pooping sounds become more intermittent, it is time to hover around the ghee to prevent it from burning.

4. When the ghee is golden brown and has a nutty smell (like toffee), it is time to remove it from the stove.

5. All of the sediment will be on the bottom of the pot. Allow to cool.

6. Once ghee is cooled or lukewarm, strain it through a sifter/ seive and store in a glass jar.

Notes

• Use ghee to cook with everything.

• Ghee does not need to be refrigerated so you can store on your countertop for months. Since it is the best oil to cook with and you will be using it a lot, it probably won't last that long in your kitchen ;) - mine lasts about 1-2 weeks, because I use it all the time.

• Make sure you dip into your ghee using a clean knife or spoon to prevent any mold from forming.
