- 1.tour the entire carton of milk into your pot and put on medium heat. If you have a handy dandy tool that attaches the thermometer to the pot, use it.
- 2.thile it's warming, fold your cheesecloth over several times and line the colander. Place the colander in the large bowl.
- 3.teep a close watch on your milk to make sure it doesn't boil. If it does there's a chance it won't work well. Let it heat up to 180 degrees.
- 4.tnce you have reached 180 degrees, remove it from the heat.
- 5.tdd your lemon juice and stir.
- 6.tow let it sit for a couple minutes. You will see a little bit of curdling.
- 7.tarefully ladle it into your cheesecloth. Now let it drip, drip, drip into perfection. This could take about an hour and a half. I like to tie the cheesecloth corners around a spoon and balance the spoon on either side of the colander. Once the dripping has finished, you will find cheese in your cloth.
- 8.told in your favorite herbs. I like a little salt, garlic, and green onion. My other fave is going sweet with chopped dried apricots. Put it in a jar and drizzle with honey.
