Making Ghee

You will need:
-1 lb. Unsalted Organic Butter
- heavy sauce pan (medium size)
- jar (to store ghee)

Place the unsalted butter in the sauce pan uncovered. Turn the heat to medium until the butter melts. Turn down the heat allowing a gentle bubbling.

After about 15 minutes, the milk solids will begin turning a golden colour and you will smell the pleasant "buttery" aroma. When golden curds form on top remove from the heat and let cool.

Scrape away the milk solids. The remainder is the ghee. Pour into a jar straining any solids.

The ghee can be stored covered at room temperature. Make sure that you scoop your ghee with a clean, dry spoon.

Ghee is a healthy alternative to cooking oils or butter. Ghee is a natural digestive aiding in the absorption and elimination of foods. It also promotes the development of tissues and improves elasticity and flexibility. Yogis revere ghee for it's many healing benefits. You can even massage ghee into sore joints and muscles. It is very soothing.
