Add Vinegar
Remove the pot from heat and add the white vinegar. Stir gently for a few seconds, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the curds to form.

Knead the Curds
Gather the cheesecloth and twist it to form a pouch. Rinse the curds under cold water to cool them down, then massage the curds while adding salt to taste.
