Ingredients:
-
Fresh Milk
-
Fresh Ginger Juice
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ginger Juice: Start by peeling and grating fresh ginger. Squeeze the grated ginger through a fine strainer or cheesecloth to extract the juice. The zesty ginger juice is the magical ingredient that will transform your milk into cheese.
-
Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a clean saucepan. Gently heat the milk over a low flame. You want it warm, not boiling, to create the perfect environment for the ginger to work its magic.
-
Add Ginger Juice: Once the milk is warm, pour in the ginger juice. The quantity can vary depending on how strong or subtle you want the ginger flavor to be. As a starting point, try two teaspoons of ginger juice for every cup of milk.
-
Wait for the Magic: Stir the mixture gently and then let it sit. The natural properties of ginger juice will cause the milk to curdle, separating into curds and whey. This is where the transformation happens – the milk is turning into cheese!
-
Strain the Curds: After the milk has fully curdled, pour the mixture into a cheesecloth or a fine strainer. Allow the whey to drain, leaving you with the soft cheese curds.
-
Flavor and Enjoy: Your ginger milk cheese is almost ready. You can add a pinch of salt or herbs for extra flavor if you like. Then, wrap and press the cheese to your desired firmness.
