Homemade Herb-Infused Butter Recipe

Grind up the dried oregano until very fine; measure out 3 tablespoons.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Lower heat to medium-low and stir in oregano. Carefully pour in water. Simmer gently stirring every 20 minutes until flavors combine about 2 hours in total. Remove saucepan from heat.

Wrap a piece of cheesecloth around a glass ceramic or metal bowl and secure with a rubber band. Pour butter mixture through cheesecloth into bowl. Remove rubber band and carefully squeeze excess butter out of the cheesecloth making sure oregano is strained out.

Cover bowl with aluminum foil and chill in the refrigerator until butter solidifies above water about 4 hours. Break the butter in half with a knife and transfer to a plate. Cover. Discard water.
