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.
