HOMEMADE GOAT CHEESE

INGREDIENTS

1 litre Goat’s Milk

1/3 cup Fresh Lemon Juice

Herbs of your choice for flavoring

Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Slowly heat the milk in a clean stainless-steel until it reaches 180 F to 185 F (You can use a thermometer). Gentle bubbles should be forming and the surface should look foamy. Turn off the heat.
2. Add lemon juice and using a stainless-steel spoon stir the milk. Let the milk sit for 10 minutes. The milk should curdle and become slightly thicker on the surface.
3. Line a colander with two layers of  damp muslin cloth. Now gently pour the milk into the muslin cloth, then gather the muslin cloth up around the milk and tie it into a bundle.
4. Hang the bundle over a pot so the liquid can drip out. Let the cheese drain for at least 1 1/2 hour. Open the bundle, place the cheese in a stainless steel mixing bowl.
5. Add seasoning and herbs and mix in the cheese. Now by using your hands shape the cheese or you can use shaping molds.
6. Place in a refrigerator for 2 hours and enjoy. You can store this cheese refrigerated for a week.
