Pour the buttermilk into a pot.

Heat the buttermilk to approximately 50 degrees Celsius, stirring occasionally to distribute the heat evenly.

Turn off the heat once the desired temperature is reached.

Add citric acid (or lemon juice) to the heated buttermilk and stir carefully.

Let the mixture sit undisturbed for about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, pour the mixture into a cheesecloth-lined colander to drain the whey.

Let it stand for 10 minutes to collect whey in a bowl.

Decide to either refrigerate the mixture overnight or press out additional whey for immediate use.

If pressing out whey, do so until the desired consistency is reached.

If not pressing, place the mixture directly into the fridge for later use.

After refrigerating, unwrap the cheesecloth to reveal the Quark.
