Let’s get started!

5 Flavoring Ideas

01 Mixed Herbs 02 Dried Minced Veggies 03 Maple Cinnamon Walnut 04 Garlic & Herb 05 Jalapeño & Cilantro

Heat milk

01 Heat the milk in a large pot over medium until it reaches 190 degrees F, add white vinegar, stir to combine, and allow to curdle.

Strain

02 Pour or ladle the contents of the pot into a cheesecloth-lined strainer placed over a bowl (to catch the whey).

Add flavorings

03 Gently mix in any desired flavorings or salt with a fork.

Squeeze

04 Gather the ends of the cheesecloth and give it a gentle twist to form a ball shape and squeeze out some, but not all additional whey.

Form

05 Use 2 small plates to form your cheese into a 1-2" thick disk. Chill for an hour before serving.
