To make the cheese there are two options, the first is to add lemon or vinegar to the milk, the other is to add natural yogurt.
Heat the mixture in the microwave 12-14 minutes at 800W (90C/194F) and the milk separates.
Leave the mixture to cool for 30 minutes then add salt or sugar to taste and pour into the strainer letting the whey drain away.
