  • Raw milk can be such a treat if you're able to get access to some, or if you have your own milk cow. But knowing what to do with all that milk once you get it into the kitchen can be daunting and sometimes confusing.
    In this video, Carolyn breaks down the anatomy of raw milk, plus the different ways you can transform your milk into delicious and healthy products.

      @@herbbowler2461 We actually evolved to be able to digest lactose past babyhood. This ability developed incredibly quickly in evolutionary terms. Milk from the animals we kept was a portable source of reliable nutrition and hydration which could even be taken across deserts. Cows, sheep, goats, mares, camels, buffalo have all been kept by humans for thousands of years for their meat and milk. There's archaeological evidence of bronze age people weaning their children onto animal milk. So we are in fact designed to have animal milk as part of our diet throughout our life, just not the dead stuff sold at the supermarket.

      Yes, same here. I even grew up vegan, because my dad had bought into the whole mad cow disease plandemic (which I just started to understand last year due to the recent plandemic was just another lie), which is why we as a family did not eat any animal products for about eight years. Of course I was smaller than my peers, pale-looking, skinny, always tired, did not fully develop (until I switched to raw vegetarianism just recently), and I also am pretty sure that this partly is responsible for my small jawbone - which apparently gave reason to remove 4 completely healthy teeth... but not just veganism is an attempt to have us kill ourselves. So is practically the whole big company 'food supply' system. Among many other lies and poison they try to feed us in order to keep us small and weak.
      We need to grow locally and organic in permaculture, eat whole foods and as much as possible raw. I am not sure if we need to eat meat, though. The Wodaabe are a tribe of nomadic farmers that live drinking the raw milk of their animals, but they only butcher them for celebrational purposes and rather rarely. So I now eat all raw, mostly lots of greens, plus eggs and milk and butter included, but no meats of any kind. Do any of you have any experience with that? All the best to everyone, love and blessings - may we all be free.

    In Poland and eastern Europe drinking clabbered milk is a normal thing. Its delicious and refreshing to drink in summer with fresh baby potatoes as a meal, or just blended with seasonal fruits. Sometimes it works with pasteurized milk, but you can taste a difference with real raw milk. The only thing is, some people make take time to get used to it, because the gut can get, errr overwhelmed with the amount of bacteria, if you know what I mean... So it might be good idea to start with small portions.

    I bought into a herd share and love the yogurt I’m getting. Because the cows are grass fed only, I don’t have intolerance issues. I had been diagnosed as lactose intolerant and well as gluten, but consuming milk when the cows aren’t fed any grain and thereby no gleaned, no issues! The ice cream from the cream is delicious. So is the banana pudding.

    We have 2 dairy goats. They have never kidded, but they had precocious udders. We get about 2 and 1/2 cups of milk a day, but that's plenty for us because we weren't used to using a lot. I do make kefir, kefir cheese, and farm cheese (by using lemon or vinegar to cause the milk to separate than straining, no cultures) but I've never tried clabbered milk.

    Heating the milk beyond 142.7F makes the milk more gunky/congestive in ones body, even if cultured after the heating. That congestiveness lowers vitality. Keep the milk raw, culture at ambient room temp. Cultures beautifully,… more satisfying than fresh milk. And it's only mildly tangy and beautifully well rounded in character.

      I get my raw milk delivered from a farm. It can last over two weeks in the fridge with no change to taste or texture. Store bought pasteurized milk doesn’t last 3 days. Raw tastes better, no contest, and it is so nutritious i basically live off it. 1litre raw milk, 6 raw eggs and a teaspoon of raw honey blended, I can go weeks without eating solid food.

Does this mean the milk they’re selling us could actually be more than a week old when it reaches us?

      If you know your farmer, ask. If they are trustworthy, they should stand behind their product, and tell you the truth. The bulk tank the milk goes in to from the cow is typically constantly stirring the milk to keep the cream and milk from separating, but that could have been the issue--the stirring was not sufficient.

    For the 1st time, my raw milk (from a local farm) became sour in 5 days. One smells really terrible, the other just quite sour. I've been looking for uses for the soured milk other than bread. I think I may freeze the sour one and toss the one that reeks. Very odd since the milk usually doesn't get a tinge of sourness smell so quickly. Is it too late to try to clabber the one that is sour?

    • @chriskazaam896
      @chriskazaam896 Před 2 lety +3

      Clabber it by adding raw honey. Does it taste like vomit/bile? I don't get that issue much anymore. Just drink it with raw eggs, raw butter & raw honey. It's better than "fresh" milk and you can drink it cold without digestion problems. Never freeze milk unless you're making a raw ice cream I guess. If it's that sour, when you claber it you'll definitely get a whey of over 50%. I love whey with raw butter/raw honey. TAstes like lemonade. Then eat the solidified clabber with it and it's like french puff pastry. God intended milk to be drunk raw.
