How to make fresh cheese at home

Ingredient

- 1.5 liters of whole milk

- Vinegar, lemon juice, curd or buttermilk

- Thin or loose fabric

Making

- Clean the pot, pour in milk and cook over low heat until boiling.

- Meanwhile, place a metal sieve or strainer over another pot, then line the sieve with cheesecloth or cheesecloth.

- Stir the milk occasionally to prevent it from rising to the surface and burning at the bottom of the pot.

- Once the milk starts to froth and rise, add four tablespoons of lemon juice to the pot. You can also substitute the lemon with buttermilk, curd or vinegar.

- Stir the milk well after adding the lemon, the milk will start to curdle. When the milk curdles completely, you will see the water separate from the milk.

- Pour the mixture into the lined sieve you prepared earlier. Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and lift the bundle up to drain all the water until it stops dripping.

- Keep the top of the cloth and rinse with cold water, wrap the cheese tightly in the cloth and place it in a bowl or plate and weigh it down with something heavy.

- Let stand for at least 30 minutes until the cheese is completely set. The longer you leave the weight on, the harder the cheese will be.

- Lift the heavy object and open the cloth to get the fresh cheese.
