STEP 2: Infuse Butter
Fill a large pot or a portable water boiler like the Proctor Silex water boiler with water and bring to a boil
Place butter in French Press and place French Press into water boiler or pot to melt. The water line should be just above the melted butter line.
Gently mix decarbed herb into the melted butter.
Cover French Press with plunger and lid but DON'T PLUNGE yet.
Let butter simmer for 3 hours
CHECK WATER LEVEL IN BOILER EVERY 20 MINS and refill as necessary.
After 3 hours push down plunger on French Press and pour into plastic butter dish or a similar storage container.

Turn out re-solidified butter onto a paper towel to remove any residual water or moisture from your butter and blot your butter dry!
Place dried butter back into butter dish and voila!
