Instructions
- Pour the milk in a large saucepan and stir in the salt.
- Heat the milk over a medium heat until it is just starting to boil. Stir it occasionally to stop it burning to the bottom of your pan.
- Remove from the heat and pour the apple cider vinegar around in a spiral.
- Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the curds to form.
- Place a sieve over a bowl and line with a clean tea towel (in the past I have used a new j-cloth)
- Slowly pour the curds and whey through your sieve.
- Allow it to stand for 5 - 15 minutes and then refrigerate until needed.
Notes
- To form the ball of ricotta below I gently gathered up the tea towel and gave it a gentle squeeze. The harder you squeeze the drier your ricotta will be.Then I drizzled it with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkled over fresh thyme and seasoned it generously with salt and cracked black pepper. And of course don't forget the toast grilled bread.
