What does Lacto probiotic got to do with lemonade? Well in this case everything. We are using whey to lacto ferment, and create more good bacteria than ever to produce bubbles and make your lemonade taste amazing and be really really healthy as a drink.
Whey is the liquid that naturally separates from milk products, like sour cream or yogurt. It’s cloudy, whitish-yellowish, and full of protein, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. The health benefits of whey are amazing. NEVER throw it out. I mean NEVER. At the very least, freeze it and use instead of ice cubes in smoothies etc.
I love a freshly made glass of homemade lemonade...and this is yet another great whey to use up whey. (sorry)
So if you are making yoghurt or fresh cheese, you will end up with a lot of whey. What to do with it? I did make a little video which is over on YouTube with a few suggestions. I hope you are keeping up with my daily video tips. They’re available almost every day over on Facebook, and instagram, (while we're all about social media), go follow me there as well! But I digress...
This recipe will get you using up all your whey...you’ll find yourself making ricotta cheese, just to get more whey. No whey? Yes whey. Where ever you need buttermilk, you can sub in whey. When you need water in say a bread recipe or soup recipe, sub in some whey. It can be used to make drinks such as our Immunity booster tea and wow what a powerhouse that will be for a sore throat.
Here are a few more wheys to use your whey:
