EASY CURDS, Cottage CHEESE, or FARMER’S cheese

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + milk powder

Almond milk is lower in calories while maintaining a creamy texture.

cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with fewer calories.

Pour 5 liters of whole milk into a large pot.

Heat the milk on the stove until it is nearly boiling, watching for steam and bubbles.

Once the milk is close to boiling, add 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and stir gently.

Turn the heat down to low and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow curds to form.

Scoop the curds into a damp cheesecloth placed in a colander to drain the whey.

Let the curds drain without squeezing to keep them loose.

Allow the cottage cheese to cool before using.
