Since we have a source for raw milk we decided to begin the cheese making process. We started with the simplest of cheeses to make, ricotta. Next we'll try a mozzarella, and then we'll move on to the harder stuff.
Ricotta process:
heat 1 quart of milk in pan with 1/4 tsp salt
when it's at pre-boil lower heat and add 1 1/2 tbs lemon juice
keep at pre-boil as curds separate from whey
let this process continue for a minute or two
pour over cheese cloth placed in strainer over larger bowl.
gather whey in bowl
gather cheese in cheese cloth
wala! yum.
