Q&A for How to Make Curds and Whey

Yes; this is not about the fat content of the milk, it is about the milk solids.

Yes, you can. It's pure and natural without artificial flavors or additives.

You have to heat the milk to a sufficient temperature before adding the vinegar.

Yes, but low living bacteria will reduce its potency.

The curds are the solid clumps, and the whey is the liquid that remains.

Eat or drink it with fruit or fruit smoothies. It is a quality source of protein.

Add it to lukewarm milk.

Yes. Rub it into your hair at bedtime and put on a shower cap to keep it moist. Leave it on whilst sleeping, then remove the cap before washing your hair in the morning. This will make your hair soft and shiny.

No. This happens because of the coagulation of milk solids, and there are no milk solids in nut milk.

Any type will work. I like to use my own homemade kombucha vinegar, but since my family doesn't like the taste, I use plain white distilled vinegar. Any acid that is strong enough (most vinegar is standardized at 5% acid, regardless of what type it is) will work, so some people even use fruit juice.

Yes, that's appropriate. I do that, then add herbs and salt to what is in the cheesecloth. Once done, you can put the ends of the cheesecloth together and hang the mixture over the faucet so it can drain into the sink for an hour or so.
