This is a fascinating read Lucy. I have steered clear of ghee as I have a dairy intolerance, but am pondering whether it's worthwhile revisiting. I didn't know it was so healing for leaky gut. Thanks for another lovely thoughtful post 🙏

You are welcome, I’m glad it was useful. When you make it, make sure you do it slowly, there needs to be slow simmer to hear the spluttering of water evaporating, but it needs to be slow and gradual so that all the lactose and casin drop to the bottom without burning, and are left behind in the muslin. If not life threatening worth a go 😊

Thank you for this, Lucy! I love ghee but have been too intimidated to make my own...and find it too pricey and of sketchy quality when sold in plastic containers (which is how it's sold near me). Maybe I'll finally give it a go!

It’s ever so easy, just keep the heat low so it doesn’t burn. It’s one of those slow centering things to do. 😊
