Can’t have dairy but want to still enjoy the taste of butter? See how to make cultured ghee in minutes!

So, I was looking through my Instagram feed and saw numerous mentions of cultured ghee and I was like, how exactly is this made?

I was imagining people leaving vats of ghee in dark places for months on end to get it culture.  

So,  I turned to my favorite past time – Google and I discovered that it’s made by the same way traditional ghee is made but instead it is made with cultured butter.

Call me a penny pincher, I figured it would easier to make it myself.

What you’ll need for this Recipe:

1 lb of Cultured Butter

How to make Cultured Ghee

Take 1 lb of cultured butter and place in a small pan over medium low heat.

Let the butter melt and white milk solids will float to the top.

Around the 10 minute mark the mixture will start making the same sounds of your stomach when you are hangry.  This is the water evaporating from the butter and keep a close eye on it.  You should hear this noise for 4 to 5 minutes and the ghee will be done.

Pour through some cheesecloth into a glass jar and seal tight with a lid.  You can store this on the counter for 6 months or you can store in your refrigerator for 9 months (Trust me, it’s not going to last this long as you will have eaten it all by then).
