 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      tablespoon    sea salt
  2      cups          water (filtered or bottled -- if local water
  is
                       -- too chlorinated)
  2      quarts        whole milk
  1      cup           heavy cream
  2                    lemons (about 1/3 cup) -- juice of

Mix salt in water until dissolved. Heat the milk and the "seawater"
over low heat until the mixture boils. Add the lemon juice, stir a few
times, and when mixture begins to curdle remove from the heat. Let
curds rest for a minute or two. Skim the ricotta curds from the whey
with a slotted spoon or skimmer and place them in a colander lined
with cheesecloth, a wire sieve, or a plastic ricotta basket. Drain for
15 minutes. Serve warm, or at room temperature, with a drizzle of
honey.

Yield: around 1/2 pound pantesca
