Ingredients and Equipments:

Fresh full-fat milk, vinegar, salt, thermometer and cheesecloth

Step 1

Heat the milk in a saucepan and wait until it reaches a temperature of around 85-90°F (29-32°C).

Step 2

Once the milk reaches the desired temperature, add vinegar. Stir gently for a few seconds.

Step 3

When the milk curdles up, with the help of a knife or spatula cut the milk into cubes. Cook the curds on a medium flame for five minutes.
