This delicious and soft bread cheese is a perfect addition to your daily meals. Enjoy it warm on a slice of bread or on its own.
Preparation Time: 2-3 hours (including cheese making and cooling)
Serving Size: About 4-6 servings

Ingredients

- 2 liters of milk (lactose-free or regular)
- 1 dl lemon juice or vinegar
- 1 tsp salt

- 1/2 tsp cumin or other spices (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to steam, but do not let it boil.

3. Continue stirring for about 5-10 minutes until the cheese and whey are clearly separated.
4. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to drain the whey. Rinse the cheese under cold water.
5. Add salt and mix well. If desired, you can also add butter and spices.
