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
Alternately this cheese can be made with 750 ml milk and 375 g natural yogurt, follow the same directions.
