    Hi Bri, thanks for this wonderful video, as always 😊👍🏻
    Today I made some cheese & used the whey in making soup & kneading my bread, looking forward to use it more often in other recipes.

    My absolutely favorite way of using whey is to cool it down, add your favorite sweetener (unless your favorite sweetener is honey then you would want to add it while the whey is warm) then add some vanilla. Chill it and then open a can of frozen orange juice concentrate and use the whey instead of water. I usually add an extra can of whey and the resulting drink tastes exactly like an orange Dreamcicle. So os much healthier for kids than Kool-Aid. You can also pour it into popcicle molds and freeze it. Since you are using orange juice it doesn't matter if you use the acidic whey. I've used both acidic and sweet and there is no difference.

    This is from bonappéttit.com: There are two distinct types of whey: Acid whey, the stuff that gets strained out of yogurt and ricotta-like cheeses. Sweet whey, which is often used to make the whey protein powder supplements you'll find at any health food store, is leftover from the process of making harder cheese like cheddar and Swiss.

    What kind of whey would I have if I made mozzarella cheese from both citric acid and rennet? The whey that I have from making mozzarella is pale yellow and cloudy, like what you have in your video. The whey that I have when I make yogurt is crystal clear and a little bit syrupy.

    Whey Butter is a by-product of cheese making. It is produced when cream is separated out from the whey that is produced during the cheese making process. Unlike ordinary British butter which is produced using fresh milk, the butterfat within whey butterundergoes the initial processes of cheese making.
