For best results, use high-quality unsalted butter. The butter's flavor will really shine through. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, use only 2-3 cloves. This butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
