When the butter starts to boil, it will keep on releasing its water content. This is the time to lower the heat a little and cook the same for another 5 to 10 minutes. When all the moisture has been cooked out and only the milk solid remains. The milk solid will settle at the bottom of the saucepan having a light brown/ golden color with a nutty aroma. Be careful about over burning it. Once the ghee has been settled down in the pan, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
