Steps

  1. Bring the water to a low boil in an appropriately sized cooking vessel, such as a saucepan.
  2. Add butter, gradually whisking until smoothly incorporated. Make sure the butter is completely emulsified in before adding the next chunk.
  3. Season to taste as desired.
  4. Keep warm until use. Don't overheat, as this will break the emulsion.
