Ingredients:

1 quarts any % milk (Skim to whole )

Powdered milk also works well .

3 Tblsp. white distilled vinegar

(May use 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, for a nice flavor)

1/2 tsp Kosher salt. If using table salt
reduce by half.

Cheesecloth, rinsed

 

 

Heat the Milk , stiring constantly until 168 degrees,( Just before boiling )
