Make your own tangy, delicious Buttermilk. An heirloom kitchen staple, Buttermilk cultures at room temperature. Reusable- by reserving a bit from each batch, you can continue to make Buttermilk over & over! Buttermilk is a fermented dairy drink. Traditionally, it was the liquid left behind after churning butter out of cultured cream. Since modern butter in western countries is usually not made with cultured cream, but uncultured sweet cream, most modern buttermilk in western countries is cultured separately. A starter culture helps with this process. Buttermilk is common in warm climates where unrefrigerated milk sours quickly. You will receive: 2 packets of Buttermilk starter culture & instructions. You will need: one quart canning jar or other glass jar coffee filter or paper towel to cover jar, and elastic band to secure cover wooden or plastic spoon 2 cups milk (avoid ultra pasteurized or UHT milk) 1 Buttermilk starter culture packet (save 2nd packet in freezer for future use) Activate your starter culture: 1)Put 2 cups milk in your jar. Add starter packet and stir until well dissolved. Cover with coffee filter & secure with elastic band. 2)Allow to culture at room temperature - 68° to 74° F is ideal. Choose a draft-free spot, out of direct sunlight, where your Buttermilk won't be disturbed. Check after 12 hours to see if it has set. When set, it will have a slightly gelatinous consistency and will pull away from the side of container when it is tipped. If not set, leave for up to another 36 hours, checking every few hours. When set, refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Your Buttermilk is now ready to enjoy. Be sure to reserve some back for your next batch. Making the next batch: 1)Put 3 cups milk in a jar. Add 1/4 cup of your finished Buttermilk ( always reserve some back for your next batch) and mix well. To make larger batches, use the same ratio: 1/4 cup finished Buttermilk per 3 to 4 cups milk. 2)Allow to culture for 12 to 18 hours (faster than when activating starter). Check every few hours until set. Larger amounts will take longer to set. When set, refrigerate for 6 hours. Your cultured Buttermilk is now ready to enjoy as is, or used in all kinds of recipes. 3)Buttermilk can be consumed straight, and it can also be used in cooking. In making soda bread, the acid in buttermilk reacts with the raising agent, sodium bicarbonate, to produce carbon dioxide which acts as the leavening agent. Buttermilk is also used in marination, especially of chicken and pork. Ingredients: organic milk, buttermilk bacteria non-GMO, gluten free, vegetarian, reusable, organic

This system includes: --One heavy duty, very fine mesh, dutch weave stainless steel filter that fits a wide mouth (3″ internal diameter) Mason jar. --Two different silicone seals (use one at a time) --One wide mouth stainless steel lid to make everything leak proof and dishwasher safe. Use it to make cold brew coffee or iced coffee concentrate, hot or iced tea, nut milk, infused water or alcohol, or to filter or strain any liquid – all right in the jar! Scroll down for recipes. 2 sizes available to fit Wide Mouth Mason jars:  --Quart filter for 32oz or 24oz (Quart & Half) Wide Mouth jars --Half Gallon filter for 64oz Wide Mouth jars Use this filter system to make delicious cold brewed coffee and steep loose leaf tea for the perfect, smooth beverage any time of year! Coffee and tea made through this system is good for you and the environment.  Directions: For brewing and steeping: Only use the "wrap around" silicone seal that seals both sides of the metal filter (against glass and lid). This seal is optional if you keep the jar upright. Cold Brew Coffee - To make cold brew coffee concentrate, fill the filter tube about 3/4 full with coarse ground coffee, to allow for swelling. Pour in cold water to fill jar and allow it sit on your counter or in your fridge for 24 hours. Loose Leaf Tea - To steep loose leaf tea, combine 1-2 teaspoons of your favorite tea with 6-8 oz of cold water and place in fridge. Steep white or green tea for 6 to 8 hours; steep black or oolong tea for 8 to 12 hours depending on desired strength. Hot Coffee or Tea - You can also use this filter to make hot coffee and tea. Put the grounds or leaves in the filter, pour in 200 degree water, and wait a few minutes. Once brewing/steeping is complete, remove the filter, dump grounds/leaves into your compost, pour over ice, add your favorite coffee/tea additions and enjoy! For storing: Keep your brewed coffee and tea in your Mason jar fresh and leak proof with the other silicone seal and stainless steel lid included. Helpful tips: Be sure you use coarse ground coffee! A higher quality coffee grinder will give you a more consistent coarse grind. Cheaper grinders produce a mix of coarse all the way down to powdery grinds.  The cold brew coffee concentrate will be strong, so you may need to dilute it. Serve it hot or over ice, add sugar or dairy, or any other way you like! To make a more concentrated version, use more coffee grounds or steep for longer. Cold brew coffee is commonly made very strong and diluted at serving time. They are 10cm, 15cm, and 21cm tall. The mesh part is 7cm in diameter. The mesh is 50 micron dutch weave. All parts are dishwasher safe, and I find this the easiest way to clean them.
