Ingredients
Method
In large saucepan, bring milk to boil; remove from heat. Add lemon juice; stir until milk curdles and separates into spongy white chunks (curds) and greenish milky water (whey). Stir in salt.Pour into double cheesecloth–lined strainer set over bowl. Let stand until most of the liquid has drained off. Fold cheesecloth over top; weigh down with plate and full 28-oz (796 mL) can. Refrigerate for 8 hours or for up to 24 hours. Remove cheesecloth. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 5 days.)
