Add Acid
Once the milk has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the heat. Stir in the white vinegar or lemon juice, mixing gently. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, allowing the curds to form.

Strain the Curds
After the curds have formed, line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curds into the colander to drain the whey. Rinse the curds under cold running water to wash away the acidity and cool them down.
