Butterwort milk
Butterwort milk, traditionally made with the plant Pinguicula vulgaris, involves a few steps:
Ingredients:
- Fresh butterwort (Pinguicula vulgaris) leaves
- Fresh milk
Instructions:
- Collect Butterwort Leaves: Gather fresh, clean butterwort leaves. Ensure they are free from dirt and insects.
- Prepare the Milk: Pour fresh milk into a clean container.
- Add Butterwort Leaves: Place several butterwort leaves into the milk. The exact amount can vary, but typically a few leaves will suffice.
- Fermentation: Allow the milk and leaves mixture to sit at room temperature for several hours or overnight. The enzymes from the butterwort leaves will cause the milk to thicken and ferment.
- Strain and Serve: Remove the leaves from the thickened milk. The butterwort milk is now ready to be consumed.
Tips:
- Temperature and Time: Room temperature is ideal for the fermentation process.
- Cleanliness: Ensure all equipment and leaves are clean to avoid contamination.
This traditional method uses the natural enzymes in butterwort to ferment and thicken the milk, resulting in a unique, tangy beverage.
For making butterwort milk, the ideal room temperature is around 20-25°C (68-77°F). This temperature range is suitable for the fermentation process, allowing the enzymes from the butterwort leaves to effectively thicken and ferment the milk.
