Create the Best Homemade Cheese with Just a Liter of Milk, One Yogurt, and a Half Lemon.

1. Start by pouring the milk into a saucepan and heating it over medium heat until it reaches about 180°F. Be sure to stir it occasionally to prevent it from scorching.

2. Once the milk has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and stir in the yogurt and lemon juice. Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the curds to form.

3. While the curds are forming, line your strainer or sieve with the cotton dish towel and place it over a large bowl to catch the whey.

4. Pour the milk mixture into the prepared strainer and let it drain for at least 1 hour. You can leave it for longer if you prefer a firmer cheese.

5. After the cheese has finished draining, transfer it to the mold and press it gently to remove any excess whey. Add salt to taste at this point if desired.
