How to Make Ghee (clarified butter)

Debra Hultgren

Ghee is made by heating butter (not margarine) slowly to separate out the milk solids and water from the oil.  This process produces a clear yellow oil, that can be used in cooking or in medicine (Ayurveda) and is considered healthier.  It can also be kept in a glass jar outside of the refrigerator whereas butter needs to be refrigerated.  This is a western method of making ghee.  Authentic ghee according to Ayurveda is more complicated.  Check out Wellnessmama.com for a good description of Ghee making for us westerners.
