Lacto-fermented Recipes

So I had some left over Whey from when I separated my milk to make some cheese the other week. What better way to put it to use then to ferment some apples and beetroot's

First things first. You'll need some Whey.

Whey made from separated raw milk. Pour milk into glass jar and allow to separate
out of the fridge. Usually takes 2 days. Then separate in a very fine material, a
hemp pillow case works well. Let the milk hang in the material for about 24hours till all the whey has drained through into a bowl. The curd (that's left in the material) can be salted and made into soft cheese.




As always with food, own your own health decisions as I can not recommend the consumption of raw milk because it's illegal for human consumption. Can legally only recommend raw goats milk as always do your own research - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_milk

What you will need!

Beet Kvass:



3 to 4 beets
Salt
Grated ginger
Water

Slice beets in to Chunks. Place into 2 Litre air tight glass jar.
Grate a GENEROUS amount of ginger add to jar with beets.
Pinch of organic sea salt.
Fill the rest of the jar with filtered water.

Leave out some where warm on the kitchen bench for 4 days or more then place in the fridge.

Apple Cider Ginger:

3 green apples
Grated Ginger
Whey
Salt


Slice beets in to Chunks. Place into 2 Litre air tight glass jar.
Grate a GENEROUS amount of ginger add to jar with apples.
Pinch of organic sea salt.
Fill the rest of the jar with filtered water.

Leave out some where warm on the kitchen bench for 4 days or more then place in the fridge.


ENJOY a glass before each meal of the day!
