milk

🥗Healthier: low-fat milk

💰Cheaper: powdered milk

Lower calorie option and more affordable.

vinegar

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Natural alternative and often less expensive.

Heat 1 gallon of 1% milk in a large pot, stirring often to prevent sticking.

Watch for the milk to start boiling, indicated by bubbles forming, especially larger bubbles at the edge.

Once boiling, gradually add 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar, stirring in small amounts at a time.

When the cheese starts to curdle, turn off the heat and let it sit.

If the mixture remains white and does not curdle properly, add more apple cider vinegar and heat again until curdled.

Prepare a cheesecloth to strain the curds from the whey.

Strain the curds through the cheesecloth, pressing to remove excess liquid.

Transfer the curds to a bowl and mix in salt to taste.

Shape the curds into a form using a bowl or cup, pressing down to compact it.

Cover the formed cheese with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
