Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 6 qts whole milk
  • 3/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar

Instruction

  • In a large pot, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat. Make sure to stir it occasionally so it doesn't stick or burn to the bottom.
  • As soon as the milk begins to boil, turn off the heat. Using a spatula or slotted spoon, stir in the lemon juice and white vinegar. Within 5 minutes, the milk should begin to curdle.
  • Line a colander with a cheesecloth and pour the milk through to strain out the curdles.
  • Bundle the cloth around the cheese like a coin purse and bring out as much of the whey as you can. 
  • Place the wrapped cheese on a plate and weigh it down with a heavy pot or pan. Leave it to press overnight.
  • Keep the farmer's cheese stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use it in your favorite recipes and baked goods. Enjoy!
