Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound unsalted butter (preferably grass-fed)

Instructions
 

  • Cut the unsalted butter into chunks and place in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Allow the butter to melt completely and begin to simmer gently.
  • As the butter simmers, foam will form on top and milk solids will separate and sink to the bottom.
  • Skim off the foam occasionally with a spoon.
  • Continue cooking for 20-30 minutes until the liquid is clear golden and the milk solids at the bottom turn light brown but are not burnt.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Strain the ghee through a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth into a clean, dry glass jar.
  • Let it cool completely, then seal the jar with a lid.
  • Store at room temperature or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
