Cheese Recipe

Cheese Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Milk

   In a large pot, heat the milk over medium heat until it reaches about 190°F (87°C). Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

2. 2

   Add Lemon Juice

   Once the milk is hot, remove it from the heat and add the lemon juice. Stir gently for a few seconds until the milk curdles and separates into curds and whey.

3. 3

   Strain the Curds

   Line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl. Pour the curdled milk into the colander to strain out the whey. Rinse the curds under cold water to remove the lemon flavor.

4. 4

   Season the Cheese

   Transfer the curds to a bowl, add salt, and mix well. You can also add herbs or spices if desired.

5. 5

   Form the Cheese

   Gather the cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture. Shape the cheese into a ball or press it into a mold. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
