Cover and Let Sit
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours until it thickens and develops a tangy flavor.

Check Consistency
After the resting period, check the sour cream for thickness. It should be creamy and smooth. If it's too thin, let it sit for a few more hours.

Refrigerate
Once thickened, transfer the sour cream to a clean container and refrigerate. It can be used immediately but will taste better after chilling for a few hours.
