How to make cheese at home?

Ingredients

8 cups or 2 L milk

1/3 cup apple cider

Instructions

IMPORTANT: What kind of milk you are using is very important.

Don’t use ultra-pasteurized milk because it was so modified that will not produce or form curds.

If you can please use raw milk. (which is more expensive)

Also, you can use milk 3% from the store. (it will work)

So, let’s go back to the process of making cheese.

Pour 2 liters of milk into pot and heat until boils. (stir in order to prevent burning)

When milk boils, turn heat on low and add 1/3 cup of apple cider. Keep stirring.

The mixture will separate into curds and greenish liquid called whey.

If separation doesn’t occur, add more apple cider. (don’t be shy)

Then remove from heat and pour them through a strainer.

Rinse the curds with cold water.

Add salt if you want to use. (add to your taste. You can start with 1 tsp)

After you add the salt, your next step is to wrap the cheese in cheesecloth.

Put something heavy on top of your cheese. ( I used jar of honey). Let it sit for 1 hour.

After one hour transfer your healthy, homemade, delicious cheese to the fridge.

And you are done. Yes, you just made your cheese.

Enjoy and share.

But, that’s not all.

If you can listen to your cheese it will be singing:

What is left of me is in your other pot. It is green looking and called WHEY.

REMEMBER THIS NAME: WHEY!

This is the GOLDEN DRINK.

WHEY – GREEN GOLDEN DRINK

This drink is filled with minerals, vitamins and so many health benefits.

So, if you are still asking what is whey?

Whey is the liquid, that separates from curds and which remains after making cheese. The color is green / yellow.

You will get more than 5 cups of whey from 2 liters of milk.

BTW, whey is very tasty drink. Just try it.

Whey Drink Benefits

• Source of high quality protein
• Can help you LOSE WEIGHT
• May lower blood pressure
• Gain Muscle
• Helps reduce stress

Yes, this drink has so many benefits. It is source of calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and it is jam-packed with protein.

This drink is also so cheap. You don’t need to go to store and spend money.

When you make homemade cheese you are also getting this golden, green drink for free.

Say or make cheese and enjoy homemade green whey.

To learn more about whey visit Wikipedia.

Now, if you are still a little slow and you need more info regarding whey drink, let me do the following.

Let me remind you, how we got there?

Whey or green drink is the liquid (picture 1) remaining after milk has been curled and strained. (picture 2)

So, when you separated cheese in other pot you had green drink.

That green drink will be transfer to bottle and store in the fridge for 4 days.

If you don’t have the bottle you can use glass jar or measuring cup.

How to use WHEY?

You can drink every day before breakfast or any time in the day. Don’t drink more than 1.5 dcl.

I start my day with this much of green healthy drink.

TIME FOR BREAKFAST

First you drink green golden whey and they you have breakfast using only two ingredients:

Tomatoes and your homemade cheese. (you can add homemade bread if you are not on diet)

Using 2% Milk to make cheese

Yes, I know. If you can’t afford raw milk or organic milk from the store the question is:

Can you make cheese using store bought 2% milk?

Yes, you can. There is difference in taste but you will never know if you never tasted cheese from the organic milk,

I took the pictures when I made cheese using 2% milk. You can see the pictures below.

What do you think?

Now, check side by side homemade cheese using 2% and using organic 3.5 % milk?

Can you see the difference?

Yes, you can.

So, make your decision.

But at least you know it works. You can make amazing cheese using cheap 2% milk as well as using organic 3.5 % milk.

Important: Don’t use ultra-pasteurized milk (this is repetition)
