Easy-Peasy Imbolc Goats-Milk Ricotta
- 4 pints whole goat's milk
- 2 tablespoons distilled vinegar
- 1 lemon, juice of
- 1 pinch salt
- Pour milk, vinegar and lemon juice into a pot.
- Heat mixture on a high heat until it reaches just below boiling point; you will see the curds and whey separate.
- Take a much deeper pot, and suspend over it a colander or funnel layered with muslin.
- Pour the hot milk mixture through the muslin, such that the whey funnels into the pot and the curds are reserved.
- Once most of the whey is drained, bunch up the ends of the muslin and twist to seal in the curds.
- Remove from the funnel and, holding it over the whey pot, gently squeeze to remove any leftover moisture.
- Turn curds out into a bowl, and be sure to scrape it all from the muslin.
- Sprinkle with the salt and mix in gently.
- Serve the cheese fresh.
- You can use some of the reserved whey in place of milk/water to bake some fresh bread to eat with the cheese.
