Curdling the Milk: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Watch as the milk curdles, separating into curds (solid) and whey (liquid). Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to ensure full separation.
Strain the Curds: Line a colander with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Pour the mixture through it, catching the curds. Press gently to remove excess whey.
Season and Shape: Mix the curds with salt, melted butter, or herbs, if desired. Shape into a block or leave loose as crumbled cheese.
Set and Serve: Chill the cheese in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. Use it as a spread, in recipes, or enjoy it plain!
This cheese is perfect for quick snacks or as a topping for salads and pastas. Experiment with herbs and spices to make it your own!
