Italian Ricotta - From Milk or From Whey

What ?

Ricotta - great Italian cheese which can be made at home in just 5 minutes.

How ?

Ricotta can be created from whey or from milk. In fact, those who are making cheese will have a lot of whey. Ricotta is great way to utilize it. Of course ricotta can be made from normal milk from shop.

What is needed ?

Milk

Vinegar

First You need to heat the whey/milk to about 90 Celcius degrees (194 Faranheit).

Remember to not overheat/burn the milk because taste of the ricotta will be disgusting.

The milk have to be sour and the best for that is normal vinegar.

Take 1/2 cup of vinegar and pour it to the milk. Mix it good with the spoon and then wait few minutes.

Take colander or sieve and put clean cloth in it. Pour milk.

Now You have ricotta but it is very wet and loose. You need to drain it a little bit more. Close the cloth (as on video attached to this instructable) and put a big cup/pot with water on it. Leave whole for a while.

After few minutes remove ricotta from the sieve.

Great, You have Your ricotta. You can enjoy it now.

Although I recommend to do some experiments.

• You can add some sour cream to the cheese. It will be more ;juicy' then.
• You can also add some spices to ricotta. For example basil or Herbes de Provance.
• You can add sugar or
