The clarified butter is in a semi solid state in a transparent plastic box covered with a screw type lid.
I don't know how the ants went inside but now I can see those ants roaming inside the box - over and inside the clarified butter.
I was thinking of heating the butter and thus melting it down and then I could simply use a tea strainer to filter the ants out, but I think that this process will kill the ants and then I'll have dead bodies of ants and probably the juices from their bodies inside the butter which I find disgusting.
What is the way to get rid of them?
