About
Milk that has acquired a tart taste due to fermentation or the addition of lemon juice or vinegar. To create sour milk, add 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar to one cup of milk and let sit for 5 minutes.
Sour milk, also termed clabbered milk can be created by leaving raw milk at room temperature in a cloth covered container until the milk solids separate out of the whey.
