Homemade Fresh Cheese 🧀✨

🛒 Ingredients

• 2 liters whole milk
• 4 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp butter (optional, for extra creaminess)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Pour the milk into a large pot and heat over medium flame.
2. Stir occasionally until the milk becomes hot but not boiling.
3. Add vinegar or lemon juice slowly while stirring gently.
4. The milk will begin to curdle and separate into curds and whey.
5. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
6. Place a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel over a strainer.
7. Pour the mixture through the strainer to separate the curds.
8. Rinse lightly with cold water to remove extra sourness.
9. Mix in salt and butter if using.
10. Shape the cheese into a round mold or bowl.
11. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours until firm.
12. Slice and serve fresh.

✨ Tips

• Add herbs or garlic for extra flavor.
• Use full-fat milk for a softer, creamier cheese.
• Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
