Home Made Ricotta Cheese

You'll be surprised by how easy it is to make ricotta cheese at home. It requires 2 ingredients; milk and vinegar and just a little time to make. Ricotta cheese is delicious on its own but can be used in many recipes like pasta, lasagna and many types of dessert.

Ingredients:
Makes about 300 grams of ricotta cheese
- 2 liters of whole milk.
- 6 tbsp vinegar( I used rice vinegar)
Time required:
- 30 mins in total
Method:
Pour the milk in a large pot over medium heat, you can also add a tablespoon of sugar if you like your ricotta sweet, when you see bubbles forming on the edges of the pot (right before the milk comes to a boil), add your vinegar and stir through until the milk starts clotting, keep on stirring and then turn the heat off. Place cheese cloth over a large bowl and pour the liquid through it (feel free to use a sieve if you do not have a cheese cloth), squeeze the excess liquid out of your cheese. If you like your ricotta salty, add some salt according to your preference, mix through and store in an airtight container. I like to add salt to my ricotta, and serve it with some zaatar and olives.
