I used whole milk this time. I followed this recipe, except mine didn't curd up as promised, after the cooling phase, so I heated it up again and added 2 tsp of citric acid I had leftover from canning tomatoes in the fall. Then I strained it and squeezed out a lot of the whey. It ended up about the texture of feta, and so tasty!
There was much more whey left than I'd thought there would be- well over a quart.
I'd recently read an article on whey, and was intrigued by the health benefits of this vitamin and mineral rich stuff. And, I didn't want to waste anything. SO... after reading about lots of ways to use whey, I used it all up!
I drank some.... apparently some people drink a lemonade-type drink made with whey in the summertime, and I could see how that would be good, in a tangy way.
I fed some to Echo. He loved it, more than he loves most other things.
I washed my hair with it, and I must say that I am having a good hair day. Soft and shiny, lots of body!
Most successfully, I made some whole wheat ciabatta, replacing the water in the recipe with whey. It was delicious.
