hey,
The lady I get raw milk from to make hard cheese uses her raw milk after the cream is separated for cottage cheese. Her sales are for raw milk, heavy cream and cottage cheese. I asked her what she does w/the whey after and she says gives it away to another place who feed it to their pigs. So I asked if she would save for me instead and to sweeten her up take back some of the baking I make w/it. Keeps her sweet and also by myself most things are just too much for me to eat up till tired of it. So she's been supplying me w/enuf whey to make a pound of ricotta every other day or more. Even after making ricotta there is still a lot of goodness left in the whey and don't have to use vinegar or salt to make either the cottage cheese or ricotta so the new chicks and everything birdie else out here has waterers full of it. They all love it.
Could easily sub finely grated lemon zest for peel or even something different (leaving out lemon flavor maybe) like cinnamon, or whatever your favorite is
