How to Make Clarified Butter Or Ghee

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Slowly bring the butter to a simmer, avoiding a rapid boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and let the butter simmer gently. You'll see the milk solids separate and sink to the bottom, and the foam will subside.
  4. Continue simmering for 15-20 minutes, or until the butter is clear and the milk solids are golden brown.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully pour the clarified butter through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter into a heatproof container, leaving the milk solids behind.
  6. Let the ghee cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will solidify as it cools.
