    Melt the butter and heat it until it foams. Add the other ingredients.
  • 2
    Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 45 minutes. DO NOT STIR. This will separate out the milk solids, leaving a clear butter mix on top.
  • 3
    Cool the mixture, strain through cheese cloth and discard the milk solids and spices. Store the spiced butter in a sealed jar and use as desired.
