Homemade Cheese

INGREDIENTS

• 1 gallon whole milk
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 large lemon, juiced

DIRECTIONS

• Pour the milk into a large pot, and stir in a pinch of salt.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching on the bottom of the pot.
• When the milk begins to boil (small bubbles will first appear at the edges), turn off the heat.
• Stir lemon juice into the milk, and the milk will curdle. You may need to wait 5 or 10 minutes.
• Line a sieve or colander with a cheesecloth, and pour the milk through the cloth to catch the curds.
• What is left in the cheesecloth is the Farmer's Cheese. The liquid is the whey.
• Gather the cloth around the cheese, and squeeze out as much of the whey as you can.
• Wrap in plastic, or place in an airtight container.
• Store in the refrigerator.
