1. Start with unsalted butter. Use high-quality butter to get the best tasting ghee.

2. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. As the butter melts, it will start to foam.

3. Reduce the heat to low and let the butter simmer. As it simmers, the foam will start to rise to the surface.

4. Skim off the foam with a spoon or a fine mesh strainer. This foam contains milk solids, which can burn and give the ghee an unpleasant taste.

5. Continue to simmer the butter until the milk solids at the bottom of the pan turn golden brown. This means that the moisture has evaporated, and the ghee is ready.

6. Strain the ghee through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean, dry jar. Let the ghee cool to room temperature before sealing the jar.
