01Heat two sticks of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over very low heat.
02Continue heating until the butter is melted and you see foam rising to the top. It may sputter and splatter a bit, so be careful.
03When there isn't any more foam rising to the the top, turn off the heat and move the saucepan to another burner.
04Fold a piece of cheesecloth about four times, and us it to line a fine mesh strainer. Set the strainer over a bowl or measuring cup.
05Pour the melted butter through the lined mesh strainer into your container and let cool.
