Homemade Cheese

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of whole milk
• 4 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon
• Cheesecloth
• Saucepan

Preparation:

1. Pour two cups of whole milk into saucepan, then slowly bring the milk to a boil while stirring constantly. It is very important to constantly stir the milk or it will burn.
2. Turn the stove off once the milk is boil and leave the saucepan on the element or gas grate.
3. Mix in 4 teaspoons vinegar to the boiling milk, at which point the milk should turn into curds and whey. Curds are the solid part, whey is the liquid part.
4. Stir well and let it sit on the element for 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Pass the curds and whey through cheesecloth or a handkerchief--or use a wide draining spoon in lieu of cheesecloth, in which case you'd loose some curds--to separate the curds from the whey. The curds is the cheese.
6. Drain and press the cheese using the cloth to get the moisture out.
7. Open the cloth and add pinch of salt if necessary.
8. Mix the cheese and salt and then press again to remove any extra moisture.
9. Put the cheese in a mold or just leave it in a ball type form. Leave it in ball form for putting in fresh green salads and in a mold to make sliced cheese for example.
10. Store it in a refrigerator.
11. Enjoy.
