what to do with whey?

[Retrograde]

I made ricotta cheese in my InstantPot today. Came out pretty well, but after separating it I have about a quart of whey. Any suggestion as to what to do with it?

1. You have to sit on a tuffet...

You'll also need some curds.

2. Drink it

That's the simplest solution. It has protein, electrolytes, and probiotics, so it's quite nutritious. If you don't like drinking it straight blend it with frozen fruit and make a smoothie. You can also make fermented lemonade with it or use it to marinade meats.

3. Use it as the liquid and bake bread with it.

When I made ricotta a few years ago the bread made afterwards was a big hit - as was the lasagna I used the ricotta for!
