GHEE

Recipe by Vidya Living

Makes about 2 cups

INGREDIENTS

2 lbs. organic unsalted butter

PROCESS

In a heavy bottomed saucepan, place the butter. Turn the heat to medium to melt the butter. Once melted and solids start to bubble up to the top, reduce to low heat. Skim the foam off the top and place in a separate bowl. Stir gently to avoid burning.

A traditional way is to chant mantras while you gently stir, infusing this golden nectar with loving energy of the mantras, even playing mantras while you cook can change the energetic resonance of the food. You can even put rose quartz or gold in your ghee while cooking to infuse it with love.

Continue this process of stirring and skimming until the solids are separated out completely and the bubbling has stopped, leaving a golden-hued translucent liquid. Remove from heat, allow it to cool before jarring. When ready, strain the ghee through a fine mesh strainer or several layers of cheesecloth into a clean jar. Place sealed jars in the refrigerator to set.

Store at room temp in a cool, dry place or keep in the refrigerator during the warmer months. Ghee is very shelf-stable, however, it can accumulate mold in very humid, warm climates.
