Homemade Qeimar (Cream)

Ingredients

• 2 cups powdered milk
• 3 cups water
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 cup prepared cream (qimar) or clotted cream
• How to make homemade sausage (sajuk)
• To make mini pita bread see: Mini pita bread

Method

1. Mix the powdered milk with the water and put the mixture in a small pot over heat.
2. When the milk boils, add the white vinegar.
3. If white vinegar is not available, you can substitute 1 tablespoon lemon juice or 2 tablespoons plain yogurt.
4. After adding the vinegar (or substitute), the milk will curdle and separate.
5. You will get a mixture of thick curds and whey.
6. Lift the curds out of the whey and place them in a strainer. When the curds cool, add the prepared cream (qimar) and mix well.
7. Use the cream quickly — it's best not to keep it in the refrigerator for more than 3 days.
