Prep Time25 minsCook Time5 minsTotal Time30 mins
Ingredients
 1 Milk
 Lemon juice
 1 Fresh cream
 1 clove Garlic
 Provençal herbs
 Salt
 Pepper
Directions
1

Heat the milk and bring it to a temperature of 45°C (well, since I don't have a thermometer, I turned it off when I felt it was about to boil).

2

Then add the lemon juice. You will see that the curdling happens immediately (pieces of milk form).

3

Place a piece of cheesecloth in a strainer, set it over a dish, and pour in the contents of the milk to filter. The whey will drain into the dish, and the cheese will be left trapped in the cheesecloth.

4

To ensure that no whey remains in the cheese, gather each edge of the cloth to form a small pouch and press gently so that the liquid drains.

5

Now, it's time to season the cheese. Add the cream, the crushed clove of garlic, the herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together! You can also add whatever you like (figs, nuts, etc.).

6

To finish, refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

    Microwaved milk/lemon heated for 5 minutes at 800. Garlic, parsley, chives let rest for 3 hours in a strainer and have 2 people taste it without telling them I made it. Result: yum, so good. To be done again with crushed hazelnuts and raisins.

    Hello, where can we find gauze? And if we can't find any, what else can we use, a dishcloth?
