Homemade Goat Cheese?! No Whey!

My "This is never gonna work" face

It's the day after Friday, and all through the place, not a roommate is present, it's all my own space.

What shall I do with my afternoon quiet? Why, make a new creation to fit in my diet!

Goat cheese has a pretty nice taste, but where do I start? I don't want to waste! So quick as a jiff I pull up YouTube, and for video after video, I am glued. But finally I think I have gathered my thoughts, to the store next I run to have my supplies be boughts.

Supplies Needed:
2 Liters Goat Milk
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Cheese cloth
Big pot and spoon for boiling
Strainer and bowl for separating
Salt to taste

Home in an hour with goat milk in tow, I toss on my apron at the neck with a bow. Out comes a pot as big as my head, the instructions say low heat, but I turn it up instead. Into the pot goes 2 liters of milk, stirring without ceasing is no joke.

Bring it just to a boil, then turn off as you add the vinegar

Vinegar is next to make the milk curdle, curdling the cheese fat was no easy hurdle. I poured it in slowly, I stirred then I waited, but no curdling happened, the foam just deflated.

This is a selfie of my sad face when the milk wouldn't curdle

I set it aside, and decided to wait, as I talked on the phone and our Christmas tree did un-decorate. An hour went by before I chose to move on, but the cheese once started had to be done.

Into the cheese cloth I poured the big mess, and swished it around until I could make a safe guess, that now maybe it could begin to drip dry, and wrapped it all up and the corners did tie. Then I hung the whole bundle from a spoon and a pot, letting the whey from the curds dribble and drop.

An hour and a half the bundle did sit, before I checked the contents and if it was fit, to be salted and eaten, fit for a king! The bundle was ready, with chips and a fling, I tossed some on top and tried the whole thing.

So for better or worse, the attempt was quite good - I dare you to try it, I think that you could.
