Ayughritam Ghee is Life
What is Ghee?
The marvelous people at Ancient Organics tell us ~ “In India, ghee has always been a sacred and celebrated symbol of auspiciousness, nourishment and healing; especially in the daily rituals of cooking and worship.”
Ghee is a premium cooking oil celebrated for its taste, nutritional benefits, and medicinal qualities. Ayurveda, the ancient medical science of India, recognizes ghee as an essential part of a balanced diet, and considers it to be the best fat one can eat. Ghee is the very essence of butter; the end result of a long, slow, careful clarification process that removes all the moisture, milk solids and impurities. The absence of milk solids and water in ghee make it completely shelf stable. Ghee has one of the highest flash points (485ºF) which make this oil the best choice for high temperature cooking.”
Making it is simple, but if you’d rather purchase, contact Ancient Organics and see if they can ship to you.
Namaste!

How long do you usually simmer the ghee on the stove?
15-20 minutes? It’s never really the same. You have to watch it. That’s why I rhink of it as a Ghee meditation. Thanks, Heidi!
Thank you Laura for this great recipe. I didn’t know that making own ghee can be so simple. I just made mine for the first time. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Lenka. It fills my heart to imagine you making your own ghee. It is so healing and sacred. Sending you love and peace always.
