# Ingredients List:

→ Seasoning and acid

01 - 5 ml salt
02 - 60 ml lemon juice

→ Dairy

03 - 946 ml whole milk

# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - Give the curds a quick rinse with cold water to cut down on sourness. Then sprinkle some salt or toss in herbs if you like.
02 - Take the pan off the stove and let it sit still for about 5 to 10 minutes until you see curds and whey clearly separated.
03 - Put some cheesecloth or a clean towel over a colander, then pour in the curdled milk so the whey can drip out.
04 - Warm the milk slowly in a medium pot over medium heat. Give it a stir now and then to stop it from burning.
05 - As soon as the milk steams, stir in the lemon juice and salt. It should start to curdle right away.
06 - Put the fresh cheese in a sealed container and pop it in the fridge. Eat it right away or within a few days.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Pick fresh whole milk with good quality for best results.
02 - You can tweak how firm the curds get by using more or less lemon juice.
03 - Add your favorite spices or herbs to change up the flavor.
