1
Heat the Milk
In a large pot, pour 4 cups of milk and slowly heat it over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil.
2
Add Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Once the milk is steaming, remove it from heat and stir in 1 cup of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to curdle.
3
Strain the Curds
After 10 minutes, line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curdled mixture into it. Allow it to drain for about 30 minutes.
4
Add Butter and Salt
Once drained, transfer the curds to a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix until well incorporated.

5
Incorporate Herbs and Spices
Add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
6
Taste and Adjust
Taste the cheese and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt or spices to your preference.
