Categories     Lemon

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 quart whole milk
1 cup cultured buttermilk
2 teaspoons (or as needed) lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, stirring regularly, to 175 degrees F (79 degrees C).
  • Pour buttermilk and lemon juice into milk and remove from heat. Stir gently with a wooden spoon; the curds and whey will begin to separate. If mixture does not curdle, add another teaspoon of lemon juice. Let milk mixture sit for 10 minutes.
  • Place a colander over a stockpot and line the colander with 4 layers of cheesecloth. Ladle cheese curds into prepared colander. Let drain for 5 minutes.
  • Gather the cheesecloth and tie at the top with twine or string. Tie cheesecloth bag to a wooden spoon and hang it over the stockpot. Let drain for 30 minutes.
  • Cut off tied top of cheesecloth. Unwrap the drained cheese and turn out into a bowl. Mix salt into cheese with a wooden spoon.
  • Transfer cheese to a ramekin, cover ramekin with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.

This cheese is a good option for people who are lactose intolerant. It's also a good source of calcium.

This cheese is okay, but it's not as good as I was hoping. I probably won't make it again.

This cheese is not worth the effort. It's not as good as store-bought cheese.

This recipe is way too complicated. I gave up halfway through.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheese didn't turn out. It was too runny and didn't have any flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheese didn't turn out right. It was crumbly and didn't have much flavor.
