DIRECTIONS
Place all ingredients into a medium sized bowl. Using your hands (gloved or not), incorporate all ingredients together. The heat from your hands will warm the butter enough to thoroughly mix without melting. Work quickly to ensure the butter does not get too warm and separate.
Once all ingredients are incorporated evenly throughout the butter, place into an airtight container or wrap securely in plastic wrap and place back into the fridge. The butter will taste the best after one day spent infusing in the fridge.
