How to make whey at home

The first or fastest way to make face serum.

Place a fresh package of kefir (it does not matter, paper, plastic or plastic packaging) in the freezer in the quick freeze compartment. Once the product has completely hardened, it must be removed and put on defrost on gauze (several layers), or a sieve. This method of obtaining fresh whey allows you to save all the vitamins and beneficial amino acids in the final product. The product is ready for use, additional heat treatment is not necessary.

The second way to prepare face serum.

Pour fresh milk from the bag (box) into a saucepan with a lid and leave in a warm place for souring. To speed up the process, you can add a small piece of rye bread to it. Once the product is sour, put the pan on a slow fire. As it warms, the milk coagulates to form cottage cheese and whey. As soon as milk is curdled, the saucepan should be removed from the heat, left to cool under the lid. As soon as the curdled milk becomes warm, it must be filtered through several layers of gauze. The resulting liquid is ready for use, and the “by-product” - cottage cheese can be eaten and given to children.

The third way to prepare face serum.

This method is slightly different from the second. Pour fresh milk into a saucepan, put on fire and let it boil. After this, add, with constant stirring, the juice of half a lemon. The milk will curl, it must be removed from the heat, allowed to cool and strain, as in the second method of preparation.

The use of whey in home facial skin care

• apply as a tonic after cleansing the skin (rinse your face with water after drying).

What is whey, how can it be prepared? The composition and calorie content of a fermented milk drink, useful and harmful properties. Recipes and interesting facts.

The content of the article:

Whey is a liquid fraction remaining after curdling or filtering milk, preparing sour-milk products. The color is cloudy, it may be yellowish, whitish, greenish, and the concentration is thick and liquid. The taste is sour or sweet, depending on the technology of preparation and the type of feedstock. It is used not only in the food industry, but also in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of globular proteins - lactalbumin, alpha-lactalbumin and serum albumin, used for the manufacture of medicines and food additives.

How is serum prepared?

Liquid separation occurs after coagulation of milk casein protein due to a decrease in the acidity (pH) of the feedstock to 4.6 units. Lactic acid is formed under the influence of external factors, with increased activity of microorganisms that arise naturally or are introduced artificially.

On an industrial scale, whey is obtained by stirring or separating milk, but the production process does not stop there. Before storage, the product is pasteurized at a temperature of 74-78 ° C and only then cooled to 4-6 ° C. Then pre-sale preparations are carried out - they are packaged in plastic bottles or bags made of durable polyethylene.

• Yogurt or three-day kefir is defended for 12 hours at room temperature, and then put in a non-hot oven (80 ° C), where the initial product is stratified and pasteurized at the same time. Such a drink can be drunk safely and given to young children.
• Fresh milk is put on fire, add leaven - kefir, a little citric acid or lemon juice, sour cream, bring to boiling and delamination of the original product. The longer the cottage cheese is cooked, the more transparent and low-calorie the whey will be in the future. They get a drink safe for consumption, but the beneficial properties are not preserved after heat treatment.
• Separation of whey occurs slowly, curdling is carried out by heating water. The feedstock is poured into cans and placed on a rolled towel in a voluminous, wide-bottom dish mounted on a stove. You need to be very careful, otherwise the banks will burst. Maintain a small fire so that the milk does not boil.

After separation of the feedstock into cottage cheese and whey, filtering through cheesecloth folded in several layers is carried out.

If cow, sheep, camel or buffalo milk is used for cooking, you can do without fermentation. In this case, it is enough for it to stand for several hours in a warm place. It is impossible to prepare whey from goat milk, as from another type of feedstock. This product does not sour for a long time, and without leaven, curdling will not work.

Dear readers, how do you feel about dairy products? I love them very much, including cottage cheese, especially homemade, rustic. Having breakfast with tea or coffee is such a delight! The main thing is not to abuse dairy products of high fat content.

What about whey? Waste product, waste? Do not tell. In this inconspicuous yellowish liquid, there are enough useful and therapeutic substances that are beneficial not only for health, but are also widely used for rejuvenating and caring for face skin and hair.

What is the benefit of whey for hair, how to cook it at home and use in hair care, as well as recipes, let's talk today.

Hair Benefits

Whey contains a number of vitamins, minerals and other substances that have a beneficial effect on the health of our hair. Namely:

• nourishes roots and hair;
• moisturizes;
• promotes renewal and restoration of hair structure;
• increases the strength of hair rods;
• strengthens hair roots;
• prevents falling out;
• according to some reports, promotes hair growth;
• normalizes the work of the sebaceous glands;
• fights fungal diseases of the scalp;
• normalizes metabolic processes;
• restores hair weakened and damaged after dyeing, perm, frequent styling and other harmful effects;
• protect hair from external harmful effects;
• allows hair to stay clean and fresh longer.

Application result

After several procedures with milk whey, the hair becomes strong, acquires elasticity, silkiness, volume, healthy shine, looks healthy and well-groomed, it becomes much easier to comb them.

We solve problems

Whey is suitable for the care and recovery of all types of hair, but first of all, it has proven its effectiveness for:

• dry hair
• oily hair;
• weakened and damaged hair;
• prevent loss;
• eliminate dandruff;
• split ends treatment.

How to make whey at home

Serum can be purchased at a store, in the market, or made at home. If you compare these three options, then store whey is the least effective. The fact is that it is not known which milk was used in its production, which food additives were included in it. In addition, industrial whey is designed for a long shelf life, which, of course, does not add to its beneficial properties.

If there is no time to make the serum yourself, then a product purchased on the market is a worthy option. It is made from natural homemade milk without any food additives and, we can say with confidence that it was not subject to boiling (yogurt was heated only to the temperature that was needed to get the cottage cheese).

And finally, the most reliable and proven way to get natural milk hair serum is to cook it yourself at home. How to do it?

Frozen Kefir

A package of fresh kefir is placed in the freezer and wait until it is completely frozen. Then we put a colander or strainer on the pan, where we put gauze in several layers and place frozen kefir. When it is completely thawed, then a gentle cottage cheese will remain in the gauze, and a useful and medicinal serum in the pan.

With this method, whey, without being exposed to high temperatures, completely retains all the useful and medicinal substances in its composition. For those who make kefir at home - this is the best option.

Souring Milk

Pour homemade whole milk into a saucepan and leave in a warm place for souring. To speed up the process, you can add a slice of rye bread. When the milk turns sour, remove the bread, and put the pan on a small fire and heat until the milk is curdled. Be careful not to heat the curdled milk strongly, otherwise the cottage cheese will turn out tough.

Remove the pan from the heat, cool the contents and strain through several layers of gauze. In the gauze there will remain high-quality home-made cottage cheese, and the liquid is a useful and therapeutic whey.

Adding Lemon Juice

This method is designed for quick preparation of whey. Squeeze the juice of one lemon in a liter of homemade whole milk, mix well and put on a small fire. During heating, the milk will curl. Remove the pan from the heat, cool the liquid and filter, as already described.

With this method, whey is still not quite “right”, since in its manufacture there is no process of fermentation (fermentation) of milk and, therefore, the resulting product does not contain beneficial bacteria and other useful substances associated with this process.

How to store whey

Whey should be stored in a glass dish in the refrigerator.

For medical and cosmetic purposes, the shelf life of the product should not exceed three days.

And now let's look at how to use milk serum for hair in order to get the maximum benefit from this tool.

Whey Head Wash

The serum or composition with its inclusion must be preheated to a pleasant comfortable temperature. To enhance the effect, you can add half-ampoules of vitamin A or E.

Wash the hair as usual, squeeze (you can slightly get wet with a towel). Then we use the prepared milk rinse. We squeeze the hair, dry it with a towel and let it dry naturally. Additionally, rinse hair with water is not necessary. Apply as needed.

After this procedure, the hair looks well-groomed, beautiful, easier to style, longer stay clean and fresh.

Whey Rinse Recipes

Now let's look at how to prepare a rinse composition with whey.

Lemon juice conditioner

We prepare whey according to the third option with the addition of lemon juice and use it as a rinse aid. Apply 1-2 times a week.

Whey Spray

A type of rinsing with whey is the use of a spray. This procedure has proven itself to restore the hair structure after dyeing, perm, frequent styling, etc.

Pour milk whey into an empty bottle with a sprayer and apply to the hair along the entire length. If there are split ends, we process only them. If desired, 1 tsp can be added to the composition. burdock oil. Frequency of use - several times a day.
