4 cups of milk
2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
¼ cup of warm water
Method:
- Mix lemon juice, water together and keep it aside.
- Heat milk in a heavy bottom pan in a medium heat.
- When milk starts to boil, pour in lemon mixture to the milk and mix well.
- Reduce the heat and stir continuously until the milk is completely curdled.
- When whey turns to yellowish and completely separate from curds, turn off the heat.
- Drain the mixture through cheese cloth placed in a colander.
