A new way to make ricotta cheese: Using Circle Kombucha
Directions:
Heat milk and heavy cream in a heavy bottom pot to 170 degrees.
Dissolve the citric acid powder in the Circle Kombucha
Add the kombucha mixture to the cream, and stir gently.
Take off the heat, and let rest for 10-15 minutes minimum.
Line your strainer with your cheese cloth. At least 4 layers
worth.
Pour your milk and kombucha mixture through the cheese
cloth.
Collect the corners and twist gently to squeeze out the
whey. Do not squeeze so hard that the ricotta squirts out the cloth.
Scrape the ricotta off the cloth, and into a bowl. Stir in the salt and sugar gently, and chill overnight.
