Method 5 steps
Using a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. You will notice that the oil will separate from the water. The top will begin to froth; remove froth.
Allow the oil to become clear by letting the water evaporate. Once clear, remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
After cooling, strain ghee through a very fine strainer or through 3–5 layers of cheesecloth into a container or jar.
Put lid on container and store on shelf.
