Ghee
Ingredients
Directions
Boil the bison's milk.
Allow the milk to cool, then add a little sour milk (Dhye) to cause coagulation.
Churn the mixture until butter is produced.
Add hot water and continue churning for about an hour.
To clarify, boil the butter with Dhye and salt or betel-leaf.
Store the clarified ghee in closed pots for use.
