- Cook at a simmer for 5 minutes.

- Put all ingredients in a small bowl and stir with a rubber spatula to combine.
- Place the butter mixture on a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap and shape into a log about the size of the original stick of butter.
- Chill in the freezer for about 30 minutes, until firm but not frozen hard.
- Slice into 1/4-inch rounds (about 1/2 teaspoon) to use in buttered drinks.
