Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Sat Nam Cathy, Here is a recipe I found: Ayurvedic How to make ghee (clarified butter) at home Materials: 1 pound unsalted butter (organic if available), a large sieve, 4 sheets of cheesecloth or muslin, a dry heavy-bottomed deep pot, a clean dry pot to hold the finished ghee, a clean 1-pound glass jar with lid. Step 1. Melt the butter over low heat gradually in the heavy-bottomed pot. Do not stir. Step 2. Over low heat, cook the melted butter until it is a clear golden liquid. It may bubble some, and a foam may form on top, but if you have a deep pot it won't boil over. Golden or light brown solids will form and may settle at bottom. You can skim off and discard thick foam if you like. Step 3. Remove from heat while the liquid is a clear gold. A darker color means overdone ghee. Step 4. Line the sieve with the 4 sheets of cheesecloth and place over the clean dry pot. While still hot, carefully strain the ghee through the cheesecloth-lined sieve into a clean, dry pot. Step 5. Transfer the strained ghee carefully into the clean jar and shut tightly. Note: Ghee at room temperature looks semi-solid. Ghee does not need to be refrigerated. Always use a clean utensil to scoop out ghee for use. Hope that helps Kundaliniyoga , " cathy " <bliss44 wrote: > > Sat Nam! > I have been checking out the archives to find out how to make Ghee.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Sat Nam! According to my teacher Vamadeva Shastri (Dr. David Frawley) do not skim off the froth on top, it contains medicinal properties. Discard the white curds on the bottom however, these are impurities. Ghee is sometimes mistakenly referred to as clarified butter. It is not surprising to me that research finds no claims for the healing properties of Ghee! LOL. Much of the healing in Ayurveda happens on an energetic level, healing and purifying the Nadis and Chakras. Bringing an out of balance Dosha to balance, pacifying the mind and enhancing Ojas and Sattva. Blessings in Health!

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 It is the clear liquid at the bottom that is Ghee. The stuff that floats to the top is the impurities. Love and Light Stephen O.
