Humulus lupulus, also known as hops, is a climbing plant that is native to Europe and Asia. It is a member of the Cannabaceae family and is best known for its use in brewing beer. The female flowers of the plant, called strobiles or cones, are rich in resins and oils that give beer its bitter flavor and aroma. Hops also have soft, green foliage that can be used in cooking or as a garnish. Here is a recipe for Hop-Infused Butter: Ingredients: -1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature -1/4 cup dried hops Instructions: -Rinse the dried hops to remove any dust or debris. -In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. -Stir in the hops and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. -Remove from heat and let the butter cool. -Strain the butter through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl. -Transfer the butter to a covered container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
