Help TOO MUCH MILK!

[Bedste]

I have so much milk I do not know what to do. Please tell me what is the easiest way to use this milk. I am new to goats. I was supplying a baby who is now off of milk and we can not possibly drink the gallon a day ourselves. I have 14 gallons in the freezer and I continue to add a gallon almost every day. I am researching how to make soap and lotion and yogurt and cheese and kefir. ANY QUICK recipes or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cajeta and an easy farm cheese. Soap is super fun, but won't use up much milk. Best purchase we ever made was an ice cream maker- we just use straight goat's milk and whatever flavoring suits us that night. I have food grade peppermint essential oil for the soap and a few drops in a quart of milk along with a little sugar or splenda and a few chocolate chips makes the best darn mint chocolate chip ice cream you can get. Preserves work well too. We've been using last year's blueberry jam for ice cream. The cajeta has been a big hit, too. Easy to can for your off season or to give as gifts.

So tell me your recipe for ice cream, you use straight milk and flavoring and it thickens up on its own in the Ice Cream Freezer?

Cheese! Make cheese! I have been researching for myself because I will start milking my first doe next week. I plan on buying a few of the cheese starter kits from either Caprine Supply or Hoeggers. They have all kinds of easy starter kits.

I make ice-cream every week, when I get too much milk, later in the season I go to making cheese.

Spray it over your pasture for fertilizer. You do have to water it down but I bet if you did a search, you could find out. There was an article somewhere on using raw milk as fertilizer.

Look down in the recipe section, I listed my icecream recipe there. It is very creamy and delicious. Yesterdays creation was black forest, chopped bing cherries up and added one cup of cherries and about a 1/2 cup of mini choc chips to choc icecream. Eating some now, yummy.
