Maybe that tiny little bit of butter will be extra strong? @paxton – I’ve had trouble before if I let it boil too much/too rapidly or keep it covered.

Now I tried it last night and i thought it would work even better the second time around but just woke skippy downstairs ready to see my butter in the fridge and I got maybe 1/8 of a stick of butter having used a stick. Weird right? My only guess is the butter i used wasn't high enough in fat or something because its so weird and disspointing. I used an oz of vapid to a stick of 8g fat butter and approximately 1.5 litters of water is that fine? Ok so the first time i did this it worked decently.

You can also add a little of the liquor of your choice to whatever you're baking for flavor. It’s certainly worth a shot (pun intended).

If you don't use much (say, a shot or so per stick?), it should expel all the alcohol. Remember, alcohol boils at a lower temp than water, and if you have water loss, you DEFINITELY have alcohol loss. This should leave behind the flavors of the particular alcohol. Whether or not that flavor gets conveniently trapped in the butter, I can't guess... but the idea of rum flavored 'canopoo butter got my mouth drooling. A bit of honey mixed in and you got the best breakfast butter around! Now I want biscuits... Actually, I believe the alcohol would, or should, help out.

The whole crux of this process is having one vehicle in play that the active ingredients will be absorbed into - which then easily separates with cooling from the other liquid. In other words, I think it's likely to reduce the potency of your finished butter. But this is all speculation. If you have good results - please let us know!

Wonder if anyone heard that using a little alcohol in poo while simmering will help draw active ingredients into butter. I like the flavor of the rum in the next stage anyway but wonder if it's a waste to use it before straining. Am also adding lots of nutmeg, which i understand also has nice effects...

I found that the teaspoon size was too big and the 1/4 teaspoon too small. 1/2 a teaspoon - it's the perfect size and the spoon is deep so you won't get much overflow.
