Homemade Milk & Lemon Cheese Recipe
Ingredients:
✔ 1 liter (4 cups) whole milk (cow’s or goat’s milk works best)
✔ 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
🔸 1. Heat the Milk
- Pour the milk into a pot and heat it on medium heat until it almost reaches a boil (about 80°C / 175°F).
- Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
🔸 2. Add the Lemon Juice
- Once the milk is hot, add the lemon juice slowly, stirring gently.
- You’ll see the milk begin to curdle, separating into curds (cheese) and whey (liquid).
🔸 3. Let It Rest
- Turn off the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow full separation.
🔸 4. Strain the Cheese
- Line a strainer with a clean cloth or cheesecloth and pour the mixture through.
- Let the whey drain out, then gently press the cheese to remove excess liquid.
🔸 5. Shape & Chill
- You can leave it crumbly (like ricotta) or press it into a round shape.
- Let it sit for 30 minutes before serving.
