HOMEMADE RICOTTA CHEESE FROM WHEY
When you make farmers cheese, fresh mozzarella, cottage cheese, etc. you are left with a large pot of whey. Most people throw this away or save just a bit for breads or fermenting. However, ricotta in Italian means "recook" or "cook again." Ricotta cheese is made simply by cooking the leftover whey from your cheesemaking session again! How simple and easy is that!

Steps:
- This recipe is so simple that it was difficult to get it published here as there is a requirement of a minimum of 3 ingredients.
- There is no requirement for the chives or even the salt, but I was required to have 3 ingredients. All you really need is how ever much whey you have left over from your cheesemaking session.
- In a stainless steel pot, heat the whey until it reaches 200 degrees. Do not stir. You'll notice a film that will start forming on the top of the whey. This is your ricotta starting to form.
- When your whey reaches 200 degrees, take it off the heat. You'll know when you have reached this temperature as bubbles will have formed around the edges. Using a slotted spoon or ladle, scoop the layer of thickened ricotta that formed on top of the whey into a cheesecloth-lined colander over a bowl. Continue scooping the ricotta until all that's left is the clear whey.
- Grab all 4 corners of the cheesecloth and tie into a ball. Place a string around the top of the cheesecloth/ricotta bundle and hang to drain over a bowl.
- For moist ricotta, hang for 2 hours.
- For more dry ricotta, hang for 8 hours.
- Remove ricotta from cheesecloth and store in a mason jar or plastic tub. It's now ready to be used in recipes or add salt & herbs and it becomes a wonderful cheese spread.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Line a strainer or colander with a kitchen towel and set over a large bowl.
- Add the yogurt, cover with a plate and leave overnight.
- In the morning, transfer the liquid whey that has dripped into the bowl into a glass jar.
- To get the last bit of whey out of the yogurt, tie up the towel and suspend it from a spoon over a container.
- After several hours you will have a nice firm cream cheese in the towel and a little bit more whey.
- From 1 quart of yogurt you will get about 2 ½ cups whey and 1 ½ cups cream cheese.
- Whey keeps very well in glass jars in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

- Culture foods. Using the methods in Nourishing Traditions, you can use whey to ferment all sorts of foods… beets, cabbage, carrots – you name it!
- Soak grains. We soak our oatmeal and weekly batches of bread, and now we’ll be doing it with whey. It costs me money to make those (or buy lemon juice), and whey is free!
- Soak beans. Just like grains, your digestive system benefits from beans being soaked before cooking. Swap your acid medium and use whey, or feel free to add more!
- Make pizza dough. Add a sourdough-ish tang to your dough for a delicious pie. Here’s our favorite dough recipe.
- Make bread. My latest batch of soaked bread (above) was made with 100% whey as the liquid and it was SO good! I’ve heard it helps with whole grains and creating a better texture and my taste buds confirmed this one!
- Stick it in smoothies. Whey is naturally high in protein (almost 2g in one cup!) and it’s my first choice for extra liquid when making protein smoothies.
- Condition your face. The cultures in whey are acidic, so toss some on a cotton ball and use it as a toner.
- Condition your body. Up the ante and add one cup of whey to your bath for an all-over-the-body skin toner.
- Make a face mask. Use whey combined with soothing raw honey for an easy face mask. Your skin will be loving you! More details here.
