Homemade Ricotta

What you need

• milk
• lemon juice

I used whole milk
Put milk in a pot and bring it to almost boiling
Toss in some lemon juice (a couple table spoons) You can also use vinegar
Turn the heat down
Put a couple layers of cheesecloth in a strainer
Strain out the solids
Now you can either keep the liquid and do it again to get the last little bits of cheese out of it.  Or you can use the liquid for another purpose like a soup base, baking or an invigorating health drink.  Or you can just throw it out.
You can squeeze it as much as you want.  The more you squeeze, the firmer it gets.
You can add salt or how about honey for a sweet treatment, rosemary, cayenne... the world is your ricotta.
