Howdy,

Glad I found this site! Been making butter for years and recently learned I've been making it at too high temp. So now I've bought a crock pot and plan to make some butter soon. Just had a couple of questions I'm hoping aren't too dumb.
1) I just heard that soaking the leaf in cold water for a while will reduce the organic/green taste in the final product. True?
2) When using the crock pot method, do I need to use water with the leaf and butter? I was planning on just using butter and leaf, but don't want to waste my stuff.

Thanks very much! I've read all the threads multiple times and appreciate having the resource. By the way, 'green' rice krispy treats are the BOMB. Especially with dark chocolate chips sprinkled throughout.
