⅓ cup cider vinegar

or as needed

Everyday Cooking

Directions

Step 1

Line a colander with a damp piece of muslin or cheesecloth. Place colander over a bowl or in the sink.

Step 2

Pour milk into a large saucepan; bring to 185 degrees F (85 degrees C) stirring frequently. Stir in salt.

Step 3

Pour vinegar into milk a little at a time stirring well after each addition until curds begin to separate from the whey.

Step 4

Spoon curds into the muslin-lined colander using a slotted spoon. Fold the muslin over the top of the curds. Fill a smaller container with water and place on top of the muslin to press down on the cheese. Let rest for 1 to 3 hours allowing the liquid to drain from the cheese (the longer you allow the cheese to drain the drier the cheese will be).
