How To Make spiced ghee

Step 1

Melt the butter and heat it until it foams. Add the other ingredients.

Step 2

Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 45 minutes. DO NOT STIR. This will separate out the milk solids, leaving a clear butter mix on top.
Step 3

Cool the mixture, strain through cheese cloth and discard the milk solids and spices. Store the spiced butter in a sealed jar and use as desired.
