Curds Formation
Let the mixture sit undisturbed for about 5-10 minutes until curds form and separate from the whey. The curds should be soft and slightly springy.

Drain the Curds
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the curds into a colander lined with cheesecloth. Allow the whey to drain for about 5 minutes.

Knead the Curds
Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and twist to form a pouch. Pour hot water (about 170°F or 77°C) over the curds. Knead the curds in the cheesecloth for about 5-10 minutes until they become smooth and elastic.
