Who knew that making cheese could be as simple as adding a lemon to boiling milk? This age-old trick has been passed down through generations and stands as a testament to the beauty of simplicity in our kitchens. Today, I’m excited to share with you how you can create a soft and fresh cheese using just two ingredients you probably already have at home: milk and lemon.
Why Lemon and Milk?
Lemon juice is a natural acid that curdles milk, separating the curds (solids) from the whey (liquid). This process is not only fascinating to watch but also produces a deliciously fresh cheese that’s versatile and ready to be added to your favorite dishes.
Ingredients:
1 liter of fresh milk (whole milk works best for a creamier texture)
Juice of 2 large lemons
Instructions:
Step 1: Heat the Milk
Pour the milk into a large pot and slowly bring it to a boil. Keep an eye on the milk as it heats, as it can quickly rise and spill over.
Step 2: Add Lemon Juice
