Step 3

Pour this into a Muslin cloth lined sieve over a bowl to strain it out then squeeze the excess liquid out . Pour out the whey you can use this for smoothies or pancakes . Now place a dish on top of the sieve and weigh it down with some cans of food or I use my very heavy pestle and mortar . Put in the fridge for 1 and a half hours

Step 4

After 1 1/2 hours the cheese is firm and is ready to use . Enjoy
