00:00Did you know if you have any milk heavy cream for half and half sitting around in your fridge,
00:03that you can make fresh ricotta? All it takes is heating up your dairy, adding some salt. Once it
00:07starts to come to a simmer, take it off the heat, pour your acid, either vinegar or lemon juice,
00:11and let it sit for a few minutes. Once you see the curd separate, you're going to scoop it off
00:15and strain it through some cheesecloth. While that's happening, it's going to separate the
00:19ricotta on the top and the whey on the bottom. It's going to stay for about four to five days
00:23in your refrigerator, but I doubt it'll last that long. And what was that? Maybe 45 minutes
00:28from start to finish, we made ricotta out of leftover dairy just sitting in our refrigerator.
00:32It's almost too good to be true. This is one of my favorite hacks I've ever done. I love this.
