How to make butter

Making butter is not an easy process. It is rather long and you should be precise and accurate with the steps to assure the high standard and quality of the butter. The first step is to check the milk for quality and fat content; secondly is to leave the milk to cool, then you should separate the cream and then you should churn the cream; next you should drain the buttermilk from the butter; after that you should place the butter in a jar and then you should wash the butter with cold water to remove the remains of buttermilk.

Australia

Two years ago my elder brother and I went to Australia for the summer, where we had lots of fun and enjoyed our time.
Last year I went to Germany in the summer and Italy in the midyear vacation. It was so boring and I didn’t enjoy it as much as I expected and had in mind. Although the weather was spectacular, it wasn’t what I hoped for.
Australia was something different to me. We left Dubai International Airport and headed to Brisbane international airport. The trip was rather long; it was a direct flight and didn’t stop anywhere until we reached our destination; 14 straight hours.
The airport was very nice and comforting as was the airplane. We took a taxi from the airport to the Gold Coast. The trip took us about an hour or so to reach the hotel.
I wasn’t that amazed by the luxuries and buildings of Australia. To me that was so normal compared to Dubai hotels. I was amazed by its natural beauty and golden beaches and long green trees. I envy them.
We don’t have these things naturally due to our warm and moist weather.
I really liked Australia and enjoyed my time there. I do plan on going there again soon.
