Cottage Cheese Preparation

Add Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Once the milk is heated, remove it from the heat and stir in the vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the curds to form.

Strain the Curds
After the curds have formed, line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curds and whey into it. Allow it to drain for about 10 minutes.

Rinse the Curds
Rinse the curds under cold water to remove excess whey and acidity. Gather the cheesecloth and gently squeeze out additional liquid.

Season the Cottage Cheese
Transfer the curds to a bowl, add salt, and mix gently. If desired, fold in heavy cream for a richer texture.

Chill and Serve
Cover the cottage cheese and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy it on its own or with fruits, vegetables, or as a topping.
