Health benefits 

Garlic is a strong antibiotic with a wide range of health benefits. Unlike chemical antibiotics that kill millions of friendly bacteria your body needs, its only goal is bacteria and microorganisms. Garlic also encourages and increases the level of healthy bacteria. It is a powerful antifungal agent and destroys any antigen, pathogen, and harmful disease-causing microorganisms. 

Onion is garlic’s closest relative ​​and it has a similar but milder action. Together they create a strong fighting duo. 

Horseradish is a powerful herb, efficient for sinuses and lungs. It opens sinus channels and increases circulation, where common colds and flu usually begin, as most doctors would agree. 

Ginger has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and it is a strong circulation stimulant. 

Chili peppers are the most powerful circulation stimulators. They just send their antibiotic properties to fight the disease where it is mostly needed. 

Turmeric is the most perfect spice, cleanses infections and reduces inflammation. Blocks the development of cancer, and prevents dementia. It is especially useful for those who struggle with joint pain. 

Apple cider vinegar – there must be something very healthy in the use of apple cider vinegar as the father of medicine, Hippocrates, used vinegar around 400 BC because of its healthy properties. It is said that he used only two remedies: honey and apple cider vinegar. 

Apple cider vinegar is made from fresh and ripe apples which are later fermented and go through rigorous process to give the final product. Apple cider vinegar contains pectin, a fiber that reduces bad cholesterol and regulates blood pressure. 

Health experts agree that people need more calcium as they get old. Vinegar helps the extraction of calcium from foods it is mixed with, which helps in the process of maintaining bone strength. Potassium deficiency causes a variety of problems including hair loss, brittle nails and teeth, sinusitis, and runny nose. 

Apple cider vinegar is rich in potassium. Studies have shown that potassium deficiency results in slow growth. All of these problems can be avoided if you use apple cider vinegar regularly. Potassium also removes toxic wastes from the body. 

Beta-carotene prevents damage caused by free radicals, maintains skin firm and young. Apple cider vinegar is good for those who want to lose weight. 

It breaks up fat which supports a natural weight loss process. Apple cider vinegar contains malic acid, efficient in the fight against fungal and bacterial infections. This acid dissolves uric acid deposits that form around the joints, and thus alleviates joint pain. Dissolved uric acid is later eliminated from the body. 

It is believed that apple cider vinegar is useful in treating conditions like constipation, headaches, arthritis, weak bones, indigestion, high cholesterol, diarrhea, eczema, sore eyes, chronic fatigue, mild food poisoning, hair loss, high blood pressure, obesity, and many other health problems.

Four Homemade Simple Cheese Recipes

Easy Mozzarella Recipe

By Ricki CarrollFrom "Home Cheese Making"June/July 2008

Total Hands-On Time: 30 min
Yield: About 1 pound 

Ingredients:

• 1 gallon milk
• 1 1/2 tsp powdered citric acid dissolved in 1/4 cup cool water
• 1/4 tsp liquid rennet diluted in 1/4 cup cool water (if using rennet tablets, follow conversion instructions on the package)
• 1 to 2 tsp cheese salt

Instructions:

1. Slowly heat the milk to 55 degrees Fahrenheit in a stainless steel pot. While stirring, slowly add the citric acid solution to the milk and mix thoroughly but gently.
2. Heat the milk to 88 degrees over medium-low heat. The milk will begin to thicken like yogurt.
3. Gently stir in the diluted rennet for 30 seconds. Then don’t disturb the milk while you let it heat to between 100 and 105 degrees. In about 5 to 8 minutes, the curds should begin to break up and pull away from the sides of the pot. Turn off the heat.
4. The curds will look like thick yogurt and become a bit shiny, and the whey will be clear. If the whey is still milky white, wait a few more minutes before turning off the heat. Scoop out the curds with a slotted spoon and put in a bowl. Reserve the whey. Press the curds gently with your hands, squeezing out as much whey as possible.
5. Heat the reserved whey to 175 degrees. Shape the curds into several small balls, rolling them between your palms. Put them, one at a time, into a ladle, and dip them in the hot whey for several seconds. Then gently fold the cheese over and over (as in kneading bread) with a spoon or your hand. (You’ll want to don rubber gloves at this point, as the cheese will be extremely hot.) This distributes the heat evenly throughout the cheese, which will not stretch until it is too hot to touch (145 degrees inside the curd).
6. Repeat this process several times until the curd is smooth and pliable; mix in salt after the second time. When the cheese stretches like taffy, it’s done. If the curds break instead of stretch, they are too cool and need to be reheated.
7. When the cheese is smooth and shiny, roll it into balls and eat while warm. Although best eaten fresh, it can be stored in the refrigerator for a week or so. 

Homemade Cream Cheese Recipe

Homemade cream cheese is free of preservatives and better than store bought! Use this homemade cream cheese recipe and enjoy your own cream cheese!

By Ricki CarrollFrom "Home Cheese Making"June/July 2008

Yield: About 1 pound 

Ingredients:

• 2 quarts cream or half-and-half, at room temperature (about 72 degrees)
• 1 packet direct-set mesophilic starter or 4 ounces prepared mesophilic starter
• Cheese salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Add the starter to the cream, and mix thoroughly. Cover and let sit for 12 hours; a solid curd will form.
2. Pour the curd into a colander lined with cheesecloth. Tie the cheesecloth into a bag, and hang from a hook until the bag stops dripping, about 12 hours. Changing the bag once or twice can speed up the process.
3. Place cheese in a bowl and mix in the desired amount of salt. You can leave the cheese in this container, or pack it into molds of any size. You can also add any desired herbs and spices at this stage. Your cream cheese will store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Super Quick Ricotta Recipe

By Ricki CarrollFrom "Home Cheese Making"June/July 2008

Yield: 1 1/2 to 2 pounds

• 1 tsp cheese salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Add the milk and the citric acid solution to a stainless steel pot. Stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, slowly heat the mixture to between 185 and 195 degrees. 
2. As soon as the curds and whey separate (there should be no milky whey, only clear whey), turn off the heat and let sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.
3. Line a colander with cheesecloth, and ladle the curds into the colander. 
4. Mix in the salt with a spoon. 
5. Let the cheese drain for 30 to 45 minutes. 
6. For firmer cheese, tie the cheesecloth into a bag and hang it from a hook to drain. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

Simple Farm Cheese

Cook Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours, 20 minutes

Yield: about 1 pound

This simple farm cheese can come together quickly. It tastes mild and sweet, and doesn't require rennet, making an excellent cheese for beginners.

Ingredients

• 1 gallon milk, not ultrapasteurized
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons very fine sea salt

Instructions

1. Line a colander with a double layer of cheesecloth or a single layer of butter muslin (find it here).
2. Pour the milk into a large, heavy-bottomed kettle, and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Stir it frequently to keep the milk from scorching. When it comes to a boil, immediately reduce the heat to low, and stir in the vinegar. The milk should immediately separate into curds and whey. If it does not separate, add a bit more vinegar one tablespoon at a time until you see the milk solids coagulate into curds swimming within the thin greenish blue whey.
3. Pour the curds and whey into the lined colander. Rinse them gently with cool water, and sprinkle the curds with salt. Tie up the cheesecloth, and press it a bit with your hands to remove excess whey. Let the cheesecloth hang for 1 to 2 hours, then open it up and chop it coarsely. Store in the fridge for up to a week.

No-Knead Bread Mix in a Jar Recipe

Ingredients

• For the Jar
• 4 ½ cups bread flour (all purpose works fine.) If using whole wheat, you may want to add 3 Tablespoons of vital wheat gluten to help with the rise)
• 2 teaspoon active quick rising dry yeast
• 2 teaspoon salt
• When it's time to bake
• 1 and ¼ cups of warm water
• 1 tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar.

Instructions

1. Stir until no dry patches remain. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise 1½ hours.
2. Preheat oven and baking stone to 450 degrees. Punch dough down and remove it from the bowl. Using your hands, pull the sides of the dough down and to the bottom until you have a round loaf. Place on a piece of parchment. You can also use a large cast iron skillet. I bake all of my dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls in my cast iron skillet. If you don't have a large cast iron skillet, you can also use a bread pan. If you prefer the shape of a bread pan, use that route, it looks more rustic when done on the stone or skillet, but all the methods will bake fine.
3. Let rest 40 minutes.
4. Just before baking, dust the top with flour and slash three times. Transfer the dough with the parchment onto the baking stone. Bake for 24-30 minutes. Let cool before slicing and eating.
