Add Acid
Once the milk is heated, remove it from heat and slowly stir in the white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit undisturbed for 10 minutes to allow the curds to form.

Drain the Curds
Line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Carefully pour the curds and whey into the colander. Let it drain for 5-10 minutes, depending on how wet you want your cheese.

Season the Cheese
Gather the corners of the cheesecloth and twist to squeeze out excess whey. Transfer the curds to a mixing bowl and add salt, and if desired, any optional herbs and spices. Mix well.
