First, you mix a little citric acid with 1 gallon of milk. Then you heat it to 88 degrees. So a little higher than room temperature. Then mix in a little rennet dissolved in water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, strain off the whey, stretch it out, throw it in ice water so it can cool quickly, and WALLAH! Homemade mozarella.
If you want to make some cheese, order a kit from Ricki at http://www.cheesemaking.com/. If you live in Minneapolis, come over to my house to make it because I have a kit and it comes with enough rennet to make about a bazillion gallons of milk into cheese.
It also makes a bunch of whey. Way to much whey. What on earth do you do with it? We made a couple cups into soup and threw the rest out. Let me know if you find something more useful for your whey.Kevin likes his pizza with jalapenos, 2 layers of pepperoni and green peppers. I had green peppers and hamburger on my half.
Yum.
What could be better than watching the yummiest man alive cut the yummiest pizza ever?
