Make Cheese from Sour Milk

Method:

  1. Add fresh milk to the sour milk to make one litre.
  2. Leave it covered on the kitchen bench until it has set.
  3. Line a colander with a clean cloth, and pour in the curdled milk.
  4. Gather up the edges and tie them, making a bundle.
  5. Hang this over the sink overnight until it stops dripping.
  6. Scrape off the cheese into a bowl and flavour it to taste.
  7. Try adding herbs, pepper, garlic salt, dried onion; or chopped dried fruits, a dash of rum or brandy, nutmeg and a little honey.
  8. The whey (liquid) can be used within a day or two, or frozen for future use, in scones, soups and stock, pastry, rice dishes - just about anything you want to add a cheesy flavour.

You can restore slightly sour milk by adding a pinch of "Bicarbonate of Soda" to it.
