Step 2Strain the Whey
Once the Whey has cooled down to 140 degrees or less, either use a ladle or pour your Whey through the coffee filter. NOTE My pot has a lip on it, so it pours fine like the picture. If yours does not have a lip, it might not pour like that.
Most of the Ricotta is at the bottom of the pot so pour slowly and do not shake up the pot and you should be able to pour most of the Whey through. If the filter gets full just transfer it into another bowl for now, rinse the filter and continue pouring the Whey through until finished. Once the Whey is drained it can be thrown out, used in soups, used to feed animals, used to water plants etc. Didn't know you could get so much out of a gallon of Milk did you?
This step can also be done with a clean cloth. When it fills up, just grab up the 4 corners with one hand and squeeze the Whey out with the other hand. Continue to strain.
