DIY Cheese
Using a few simple ingredients, you can take milk and turn it into something delicious – soft cheese!
Instructions
Step 1
Pour milk into saucepan and add vinegar or lemon juice. Put saucepan on low heat and stir nice and slow until milk curdles.
Step 2
Remove from heat but keep stirring until curdling stops, and solids (curds) and liquid (whey) are separated. Move mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cool.
Step 3
Line colander with double layer of cheese cloth, then pour curds and whey on top. Gather corners of the cloth to make a bag, and drain any extra liquid.
Step 4
Tip curds back into bowl. Add a bit of salt to taste and a splash of cream to wet. Stir it all up and enjoy!
