Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to boil (donāt let it overflow).
Once boiling, lower the heat and slowly add the lemon juice, stirring gently.
Youāll see the milk begin to curdle and separate into curds and whey.
Let it simmer for another 1ā2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Place a cheesecloth or clean towel over a strainer and pour the mixture through.
Rinse lightly with cold water to remove lemon flavor and cool it down.
Gather the cloth and squeeze gently to remove extra liquid.
Add a pinch of salt if desired. You can use the cheese soft or press it under a weight for 30ā60 minutes for a firmer block.
