Making Blaand: A Goat Whey Fermented Drink

The magic of goats milk provides unlimited depths of joy and deliciousness! Today I will introduce you to bland, a traditional North Atlantic fermented whey beverage. All variants of the name (bland, blaand, blaund) drived from Scottish and Norwegian simply mean "to mix" or "mixture". The drink is acidic and mildly alcoholic, often mixed with a bit of water.

As whey is a by-product of cheese making so this is a great WHEY (lol) to not let any part of your precious milk go to waste.

But the real magic of this batch is not just the beauty of fermentation! I will be making this batch of blaand from two year old goat milk that has just been sitting in jars waiting for its time to shine.
