Tips
- Make sure you're giving the milk a continuous stir the whole time.
- Stir the milk and vinegar really well for about 30 seconds to curdle.
- If you don't have cheesecloth, you can just take the ball of curd and squeeze that as well with just your hands.
- When stretching the cheese, it will be pretty hot so try not to burn yourself.
