Ginger Orange Whey Drink
Originally uploaded by mikeysklar
We are always looking for ways to use up the whey by-product from our cheeses. Beyond kimchi and occasionally convincing the dog to drink it we don't have much use for whey. I recently saw a recipe for a lacto-fermented ginger-ale on instructables and decided to give it a go.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whey
- 1 cup water
- 5 oranges pressed
- 2 cu. in. juiced ginger
- 4 Tbl sugar
- 1 tsp kefir whey
- 1/2 tsp salt
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in 1 quart mason jar
- Place in 75F environment ( I used our fermentation chamber )
- Leave for 48 hours and refrigerate

I use whey to make bread.
It works great if the curds are salted, rather than the milk. Otherwise, excess salt in the whey can interfere with fermentation.
We use our leftover whey for the liquid component of the bread we bake.
