Ingredients
- 4 cups organic whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare a fine sieve over a large bowl. Line the sieve with several layers of cheesecloth or a clean tea towel.
- Measure all ingredients into a medium-sized heavy-bottomed pot. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil. If you have a thermometer, attach it to the side of the pot.
- As the mixture heats, it will become grainy, and then, between 175°F and 200°F the liquid will separate and small curds will begin to form. Remove the pot from the heat.
- Gently ladle the curds into the cheesecloth. Once most of the curds are in the cloth, tip the pot and pour the whey into the cloth.
- Allow the ricotta to drain for a few minutes, longer if you want a firmer cheese. Enjoy the ricotta warm or transfer to a jar, cover and refrigerate for up to four days.
