Ashwagandha, Lavender, and Vanilla herbal-infused ghee.
Preparing herbal-infused ghee recipes is a wonderful way to enjoy herbs and easily incorporate them into your daily rhythm.
There are several methods to craft medicinal ghee, but in this recipe, we’ll follow a simple formula: infusing dried herbal powders into hot ghee, followed by cooling and whipping the herbs and ghee together. Beware of herbal-infused ghee recipes that cook the herbs with the butter during the ghee-making process; this method burns the delicate herbs and spices.
This article features a recipe for Ashwagandha, Lavender, and Vanilla-Infused Ghee. Ashwagandha is a strengthening tonic herb and calming adaptogen that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine to fortify health and nurture a long life. Its nutty, musky flavor is complemented by lavender’s floral aroma and vanilla’s stirring warmth in this ghee.
Note that any herbal powders and ground spices can be infused into ghee—this recipe can be adapted to incorporate all kinds of herbal combinations!
