well, there *is* water in all butter - clafified butter (ghee
  they call it in india) is butter after the water is boiled out.
  so you're just adding a tiny bit MORE watter, which will then
  boil off very quickly and leave you with flavored butter. when I
  say a tiny bit of water, I mean a TINY TINY BIT - a few drops of
  water to make a very thick bullion paste, which will then mix
  very well with the butter. Lemme do some thinking on this - I
  might have a few hints - i love a mental challenge. "
