Cover the milk and vinegar mixture and let it rest for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, place a strainer over a bowl and line it with cheesecloth.

Pour the curdled mixture into the cheesecloth to drain the whey.

Use your hands to squeeze out more whey from the curds.

Microwave the curds for 30 seconds to heat them up.

Put on gloves to protect your hands from the heat and knead the cheese until it becomes stretchy.

Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt onto the cheese and knead it in.

Chill the cheese in a bowl of cool water with ice cubes.
