Heat milk in a pot over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.

Add lemon juice and stir gently until curds form, about 5-10 minutes.

Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes to allow curds to fully separate.

Line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl to catch whey.

Pour the curds into the colander, allowing whey to drain off for 15-20 minutes.

Rinse curds under cold water to remove acidity and salt.

Gather cheesecloth and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture.

Transfer curds to a mixing bowl and add salt, herbs, and spices to taste.

Mix until well combined and adjust seasoning as desired.

Shape the cheese into a ball or block and wrap in plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
