This is the clear part of the milk after the cream and curd have been
extracted from it. On the Continent the “Whey Cure” is a popular method
of treatment for certain diseases and the patient takes 5 pints daily
with vegetables and fruit.
To prepare it, warm 1 pint of milk to blood heat, then add to it a
glassful of white wine or cider, set on one side till the curd has
settled. Pour off the clear whey and season to taste. The curd, if
washed in two changes of water, makes an excellent cream cheese, which
is specially palatable when some fresh cream is added to it.
