What You Need:
- 8 pounds of unsalted butter
Let’s Make Ghee:
- Melt and Marvel: In a large pot, gently melt the butter over medium heat. Watch as it transforms into three layers – foam, golden liquid, and milk solids.
- Simmer and Stir: Keep the heat gentle. Stir occasionally, admiring the dance of foam and the emerging golden hue.
- Patience is Key: After about 45-60 minutes, the magic happens. The milk solids caramelize, and the liquid turns a rich gold.
