Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Form cylinders from banana leaves about 2-inch high and 2-inch in diameter tied around with a twine. Place them on a tray and set aside.
  2. Place the milk in a pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 30 minutes stirring regularly to avoid burning.
  3. Run the hot milk through a cheesecloth over a large bowl. Let the milk cool down a bit.
  4. Add cane vinegar and stir. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the curds to form.
  5. Add the salt and mix with a whisk to cut lumps into smaller/finer curds.
  6. Fill the banana leaves full with the curds. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to form and set.

Notes

  • NOTE 1. Use pure whole milk for better yield. If you do not have access to carabao milk, you may also use cow milk.
  • NOTE 2. The more vinegar, the firmer the curds will be.
