1
Heat the Milk
In a large pot, pour the milk and heat it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
2
Curdling the Milk
Once the milk reaches a temperature of about 190°F (88°C) and is steaming but not boiling, remove it from heat. Stir in the white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes. The milk should curdle and form curds and whey.
3
Strain the Curds
Line a colander with cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer. Carefully pour the curdled milk into the colander, allowing the whey to drain off. Rinse the curds under cold water to help cool them down and remove the vinegar or lemon juice flavor.
4
Seasoning the Curds
Transfer the drained curds to a bowl and sprinkle with salt. If desired, add chopped herbs, black pepper, and garlic powder according to your taste preference. Mix gently to combine.
