How To Make Farmer's Cheese

milk

🥗Healthier: low-fat milk

💰Cheaper: powdered milk

Low-fat milk reduces calories while maintaining protein content.

rennet

🥗Healthier: vegetable rennet

💰Cheaper: lemon juice

Lemon juice is a common acid for curdling, easily available.

Heat milk in a pot over medium heat until just before boiling, around 80 to 90 degrees.

Add a few squirts of lemon juice to the warm milk and stir.

Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow curd formation.

Line a strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth and ladle in the mixture to drain the whey.

Add salt to taste, if desired, or leave unsalted for later use.

Squeeze out the remaining whey using the cheesecloth.

Transfer the cheese to the fridge for about half an hour.
