For the second time I swear I clicked on goat milk and ended up with UHT organic cow milk. I do not use it. Instead of pouring it out this time I attempted ricotta though internet says not a go with this style of milk. The milk itself (grass fed cows) had a light yellow cast. I used plain garbage vinegar and at end squeezed in orange from my overladen tree. It is sweet, fragrant, and I feel cool!  Thanks to whoever told me to give it  go.  And yes - no cheesecloth in house so I used paper towels.

Housemade ricotta is a treasure!    Texture depends on length of drain time.    For creamiest, only a few minutes, longer for denser cheese.   A wonderful fast and inexpensive pasta dressing with handful of fresh veg like peas or asparagus.
