Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar 44 milliliters, or lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons water
- 3 ice cubes
- 4 cups whole milk 946 milliliters
Instructions
- Line a colander with a cheesecloth folded in half and place the colander in a clean sink.
- In a cup, mix the vinegar with the water and set aside. Place the ice cubes in a bowl and set aside.
- Pour the milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and place it over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally using a wooden spoon as the milk comes to a boil.
- Once the milk comes to a complete boil, turn off the heat and immediately add the ice cubes. Now pour in the water-vinegar mixture and stir. You will notice the milk start to curdle and the water will turn pale green. Carefully pour the curdled milk into the cheesecloth.
- Run cold water over the collected curdled milk in the cheesecloth. This will remove the acidity from the cheese and will also cool it down.
- Next, gather the edges of the cheesecloth and squeeze out as much water as possible. Then tie the corners into a knot and hang it over the sink for 30 minutes to drain out the water.
- After 30 minutes, carefully untie the knot and scrape the cheese out of the cloth and into a bowl. You can sprinkle some sugar on it and enjoy right away with some fruits on the side.
