Steps

1

In a pot add the milk and allow it to simmer

Now gradually start adding the lemon juice one table spoon at a time. The milk will start cuddling leaving the whey (the watery part)

Pls note that you can’t use powdered milk dissolved in water, or evaporated milk or yoghurt. Make sure it’s fresh whole milk. The more the fat content the cremier your cheese will be.

You can use the whey to make doughnuts, or any snack instead of water it has a rich buttermilk flavor. It serve as a meat tenderizer also
