What you need
Ingredients
- 4 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk (or homemade almond pulp + water)
- 3 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil (optional)
Method
Instructions
- Heat the almond milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming, just below a boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice — the milk will begin to curdle within a minute or two.
- Let sit undisturbed for 10 minutes to allow curds to fully form.
- Pour through a cheesecloth-lined strainer and let drain 20 to 30 minutes for a soft ricotta, longer for a firmer texture.
- Stir in salt and olive oil, if using, before serving or storing.
