Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Combine Heavy Cream and Lemon Juice

    In a medium bowl, pour in the heavy cream and add the lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 2

    Add Salt

    Sprinkle the salt over the cream mixture. Stir well until the salt is fully dissolved and evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Ferment the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Leave it at room temperature for about 8-12 hours, or until it thickens slightly and develops a tangy flavor.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate

    Once fermented, stir the sour cream again and transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using to allow the flavors to meld.
