After the 30 minute cool-down, it was still milky and the curd and whey had not separated. So, we add more vinegar (about another 1/3 of a cup) stirred it again, and the curd separated immediately. The curd tasted just like ricotta cheese (perfect!). Also, we saved out the whey too, and found it to be a very tasty drink -- a little sour but more of a sweet and tangy flavor and had kind of like a milk-shake texture. Thanks for sharing your recipe, as we will be making it again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259122415745946344.post-74369039945913374682013-06-01T12:52:05.281-07:002013-06-01T12:52:05.281-07:00Joy Jackson- I'm sorry that happened to you.

The only thing I can think of happening is perhaps variations in the milk we used, since it worked well for and others in this amount.

It tastes great. More like ricotta than cottage cheese. But I did find the whey to be white and thick. Think I might use that whey and try again with it to see if I can get some more out of it. I am excited though by how easy it was and how yummy!
