Homemade Clotted Cream (Qashta)

Ingredients

• 1 liter milk
• 2 tbsp vinegar
• 1 tin ready-made cream (qashta) or kaymak
• Sugar (optional)

Method

1. Bring the milk to a boil in a pot and add the vinegar; the milk will separate into white curds and yellow whey.
2. Strain through a sieve or cheesecloth to get the cream. Let it cool slightly, then mix in the ready-made cream and sugar if you like. Use for all sweets: qatayef, basbousa and asafiri.
