Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh lemons and chives will give your butter a bright, vibrant taste.
  • Don't overcook the butter. The butter should be melted and smooth, but not browned.
  • Season the butter to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, or other spices like garlic powder or paprika.
  • Let the butter cool slightly before serving. This will help it to thicken and become more spreadable.
  • Serve the butter with seafood, vegetables, or bread. It's also great as a spread for sandwiches or crackers.
