Ingredients

    • 1 Gallon Whole Milk
    • 1/4 Cup White Vinegar*
  • Supplies:
    • Cheese cloth

Instructions

Heat milk to 180 F (82 C) stirring constantly. Be careful not to burn the milk.

While mixing with a whisk, slowly add the white vinegar. You will notice the milk begins to curdle.

Keep stirring for 10-15 minutes.

Line a colander with a fine cheesecloth. Pour the curdled milk through the colander.

Allow the curds to cool for about 20 minutes.

Tie the four corners of the cheese cloth together and hang it to drain for about 5 - 7 hours (until it stops dripping).

The solidified cheese can be broken apart and salted to taste or kept unsalted.

* The juice of 3-5 lemons may also be used in substitute or addition to the vinegar. The resulting cheese will have a much more tangy flavor.
