Directions: |
Directions:Place milk and cream into a large pot and let simmer for about 10 minutes. If you have a thermometer 180-185º F is great which is usually a medium boil. You should start to see bubbles around the edges and top. Add Salt. I usually just throw some in so 1/2-1 teaspoon I would imagine. Then add some lemon juice about an 1/8-1/4 cup should do. Stir it a few times. Turn off the heat. LEAVE IT ALONE for about 2 hours. It should start to thicken and clump a little shortly. Line a colander with cheese clothe place it in a large bowl. Pour the cheese in and empty the bowl of liquid placing the cheese in afterward. Now you can flavor it to your hearts desire. |
