5.	BROWN BUTTER-WASHED BOURBON
6.	Put the butter in a saucepan on a medium heat.
7.	Stir constantly, but gently, until toasted and releasing a nutty aroma.
8.	Transfer immediately to a heatproof bowl to cool but not solidify.
9.	Put the brown butter into a large, freezer-proof container and add the bourbon. Stir to combine.
10.	Leave uncovered to cool completely, then seal and freeze the mixture for a minimum of 3 hours although 24 hours is best.
11.	At this stage the butter will be solid, while the bourbon remains liquid.
12.	Using your hands, or a sieve, break up and remove the butter from the bourbon, then strain through cheesecloth to remove all solids.
13.	Bottle the bourbon, label, date and store for up to a month – if you can stop yourself.
14.	The frozen butter can be stored in a freezer and used to make amazing bourbon-chocolate chip cookies.
