Ingredients
 

  • 1 litre milk
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tbsp + 1 tsp vinegar

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Put the strainer back into the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour, then you can turn the cheese out onto a plate.

Notes
