There was a belief for a long time that the Norwegians owed their beautiful skin simply to this drink. This remedy was suggested for long as well as quality life also by the well known Dr. Paavo.
A man named Thomas Parr, modest English farmer, holds the record for the oldest person in the world- he lived 152 years! Thomas lived 1 ½ century thanks to the drink he consumed everyday- whey.
Even if you don’t live up to 152 year, the fact is this drink is one of the healthiest.

PREPARATION AND USAGE
The best part is that you can make your own whey from raw milk or you can just buy it from healthy food stores. Goat whey is the best. The most important part is not to use milk from animals that were fed with hormones. From 2.5 gallons of milk you can get 2.3 gallons of whey and 2 pounds of cheese.
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 quart or liter of milk (you can add more or less depending on how much you want to make… just adjust the ratios)
a saucepan
vinegar or lemon juice (about 2 tablespoons)
strainer
paper towels or a cheese cloth
Any flavoring or spices you want
1) Get your milk and start to boil it on a medium to low heat. Keep a close eye on it because you don’t want it to get too hot.
2) When you start to notice a bunch of bubbles around the rim of the sauce pan add the vinegar or lemon juice and stir it around. The mixture should separate pretty quickly into curds and whey. If it doesn’t just add a little more vinegar or lemon juice until it does. The curds are the solid looking things and the whey is the liquid.
3) Get a strainer (cover it in paper towels or cheese cloth if you want to keep the curds and make it into cheese). Separate the curds from the whey. Let the whey cool down in the fridge for a while and then add any ingredients. Some suggestions for flavoring: Nutmeg, cinnamon, honey, chocolate… just test it out and see what works for you. The taste might be different for some people if it is, just dilute it with something else like water, or juice.
Whey is a natural diuretic and that’s why it’s recommended drinking it in moderate. You can start drinking 5 oz. three times a day and then gradually increase the amount. If you have any digestion problems, mix 1 tbsp. whey with a glass of water and drink that before your meal. You can also use whey for skin and hair care.
