Why it works: Bison and milk work together. They rank in the top 22% of all ingredient pairs, and cooks put them together in 13 recipes. Both carry decanal, which smells soap, orange peel. The science ↓
Ghee
Ingredients
Directions
Boil the bison's milk.
Allow it to cool, then add a little sour milk (Dhye) to cause coagulation.
Churn the mixture and add hot water.
After about an hour, butter will be produced.
To clarify, boil the butter with Dhye and salt or betel-leaf.
Store the clarified ghee in closed pots for use.
