Steps:
- Pour milk into a saucepan set over medium heat. Heat milk until it registers 194 degrees F (90 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir lemon juice and salt slowly into warmed milk. Let stand until milk curdles, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Pour milk mixture carefully into the lined strainer. Let stand until most of the liquid has drained off the ricotta, about 15 minutes. Discard drained liquid.

QUICK HOMEMADE RICOTTA CHEESE
This recipe is fantastic. It's super quick and easy - great for a begginer cheese maker. After the cheese has been in the fridge for a while it may start to firm up a little, but it's still good to eat. If you want the soft texture back, just add a little milk or cream.
