Answer 2

Hunny, you don't use a churn for buttermilk, it is usually drank.
If she wants homemade butter milk go down to any store and get the Shamrock, brand its very very close, without the scare of dying.....

Answer 3

lots of people drink butter milk ,but most use it in baking. for a small amount an acid is add to either no fat or lowfat milk. the ratio is one table spoon of either vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk. i have never drank it my self , i do use it a lot in my baking project as a pro baker. hope this was of some help good luck. bacondebaker

Answer 4

well, you've, obviously, got raw milk. my dad would set it on the back of the stove when cooking or baking and it would turn to clabber (old time cottage cheese) to make butter milk you would need to leave some of the cream in the milk.
