Milk Ricotta

Need

2L full
cream milk
1 tsp salt
100 ml white
vinegar

How

  1. Place milk in a saucepan and bring it up to a boil, continuously stirring to ensure the milk does not burn. Once it reaches boiling point turn off immediately.
  2. Add salt.
  3. Add vinegar and stir. Let sit for 10 mins to curdle, skim the curd off and strain through a damp chux or tea towel lined strainer to
    separate the ricotta and whey.
  4. For a sweet treat add to pancakes or crepes with a drizzle of honey. For a savoury option add to toast with spinach and tomatoes. Use  up the leftover whey in a smoothie.
