Step by Step
- Heat milk in a heavy bottomed saucepan until it simmers. Remove from heat and stir in Buttermilk. Pour into a glass container and cover overnight.
- The next morning line the colander with cheesecloth and pour the lumpy buttermilk into it. Cover with the ends of the cloth and let drain in sink for about 2 hours. You can also press the whey out to expedite the process.
- When all the whey has been removed, place into a glass container with a lid and store in the fridge up to 4 days.
My tips
You MUST use a Cultured Buttermilk. It's the live cultures that turn milk into cheese. Use fresh buttermilk.
