Preparation time
20min
Ingredients
8 Servings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup white vinegar
- 2 liters whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Pour the whole milk into a large pot and heat it over medium heat until it reaches 85°C (185°F), stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Step 2
Once the milk reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and stir in the white vinegar.
Step 3
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. During this time, the milk will curdle and separate into curds and whey.
Step 4
Line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Pour the curdled milk into the cheesecloth to strain out the whey.
Step 5
Gather the corners of the cheesecloth and tie them together to form a bundle. Hang the bundle over the sink or a bowl to drain for about 1 hour.
Step 6
After draining, transfer the cheese to a bowl and add the salt. Mix well to combine.
Step 7
Your homemade farmer's cheese is now ready to be enjoyed! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
