Just pour your infusion through the stainless steel screen and watch as it effortlessly removes all of the unwanted plant matter from your finished product. Because everything old becomes new again, fancy molded butter is also making a comeback popping up at restaurants and at dinner tables as a way to impress guests. You can also use chilled cream, it will just take a little bit longer to churn the cream into butter.
