Ingredients

1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vinegar

Instructions

Pour milk into a small saucepan and gently boil over medium heat. Add vinegar (or lemon juice) then remove from heat. Stir slowly until curds form, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
Line a colander with cheesecloth and place over a bowl. Pour the mixture into the prepared colander to drain the whey. Allow the curds to cool and the whey to drain for around 15 minutes.
Transfer the drained curds to a bowl and season with salt to taste. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
