Mise en place

Method

  1. Heat the milk in a saucepan over a medium heat, stirring from time to time until it is boiling (about 100° C (225° F).
  2. Add the vinegar, stir and remove from heat immediately.
  3. Leave for up to 30 seconds until curds have formed.
  4. Line a colander with a double layer of boiled cheesecloth and place in the sink or over a large bowl.
  5. Pour the cheese into the colander and allow to drain until it is cool enough to handle.
  6. Collect the edges of the cloth and fold them to cover the curds.
  7. Fill a heavy pan with cold water and place on the top of the cloth.
  8. Leave until the cheese is firm - this can take from three to five hours.
  9. Remove the pan and the cloth and wrap in cling-film.
  10. It will keep in the fridge for up to a week.

Chef's notes

If you wish, you can freeze it for up to two months by placing in a self-seal bag and an airtight box such as a Lock&Lock box.
