Make Your Own Cottage Cheese
Make Your Own Cottage Cheese at Home | Easy Homemade Cottage Cheese Recipe
Did you know you can make fresh, creamy cottage cheese at home with just milk, vinegar, and a few minutes of hands-on work?
In this video, I walk through my simple homemade cottage cheese recipe, explain why I don't heat the milk to the temperatures many recipes recommend, and show you how to separate the curds from the whey for an incredibly fresh, rich-tasting result.
I also cover ways to use the leftover whey instead of throwing it away, including using it as a meat tenderizer and diluting it for certain acid-loving plants.
If you enjoy making your own food, follow a carnivore, keto, or low-carb lifestyle, or simply want to know exactly what's in your dairy products, this recipe is a great place to start.
