Fresh Ricotta

makes about 150g

1L (4 cups) full fat milk 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  1. Bring the milk just to the boil, stirring occasionally and making sure it doesnt boil over.

  2. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice. Stir and sit for about 2 minutes. Stir some more.

  3. Strain into a colander or strainer lined with cloth (I used a clean tea towel).

  4. Move the ricotta curds to a clean container. Season. Eat now or refrigerate.

  5. You'll have quite a bit of whey left over. Use in smoothies, baking or to feed your pets.
