🛒Ingredients List

• ​1 Liter of Organic Whole Milk (Preferably daily glass-bottled milk) 🥛
• ​3-4 Tablespoons of Homemade Yogurt (This acts as our natural curdling agent) 🥄

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. ​Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a pot and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat. 🫧
2. ​Add the Yogurt: Once it starts to bubble, turn the heat to low. Add your yogurt one spoonful at a time, stirring gently. 🌀
3. ​The Separation: You will see the milk start to "clump" into white curds, leaving behind a greenish-yellow liquid (whey). Keep it on low heat for 2 more minutes. 🪄
4. ​Strain: Place a clean cheesecloth or muslin bag over a strainer. Carefully pour the mixture in. 🕸️
5. ​Drip & Firm: Let it sit over a bowl for 4-6 hours. The more it drips, the firmer the cheese will be! 💧
6. ​Serve: Mash it with a fork and it's ready for your baby’s breakfast! 🍞

​💡 Pro Tips 

• ​Don't Waste the Whey! That yellow liquid is "liquid gold" full of protein. Use it to cook baby's pasta or soups! 🥣💛
• ​The Perfect Texture: If the cheese becomes too dry, simply mix back in a teaspoon of the whey or a drop of olive oil.
• ​Soft Curds: Don't over-boil the milk after adding the yogurt, or the cheese might become a bit rubbery.

​📦 Storage & Safety FAQ

• ​How to Store? Place in a sterilized glass jar. It stays fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. 🧊

• ​Why No Salt? Babies under 1 year old cannot process added salt. Always keep it natural! 🚫🧂

• ​Which Age? Perfect for babies 6 months and older who have started solids. 👶🍼

​❓ Quick Q&A

​Q: Can I use lemon instead of yogurt?

A: You can, but yogurt creates a much softer "labneh" texture which is easier for babies to swallow and digest! 🥄
