All you need is cream, salt, and a jarand a bit of arm strength.
The same even goes for some ingredients: namely (and perhaps surprisingly) butter.
“The fresher the cream, the better your butter,” Yu said in her video.

“Preferably get aheavy whipping creamthat is organic and not ultra-pasteurized.”
Yu recommends distracting yourself with a good song or a short video.
The next few minutes of shaking was “the hardest stretch,” she said.
“All of a sudden, it’s separating.”
She tried shaking it for a few more minutes, but the butter had merged back into the cream.
After squeezing out as much as possible and rinsing in cold water (don’t skip this step!
), you get your final product of solid, buttery goodness.
Another bonus: butter-soft hands.
“Apparently, butter is a good moisturizer for your skin,” Yu says.
“So enjoy soft hands after this.”
