You can indeed make homemade cheese with those ingredients! Here’s a simple recipe for making homemade cheese using 1 litre of milk, half a lemon, and 1 yogurt:
Ingredients:
1 litre of milk (preferably whole milk)
1/2 lemon (juiced)
1 small container of plain yogurt (about 125g)
Instructions:
Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a large pot and heat it over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Add Lemon Juice: Once the milk is simmering, add the juice of half a lemon. Stir gently and continue heating for a few more minutes until you see the milk curdle. This happens as the acid from the lemon juice causes the milk to separate into curds (solids) and whey (liquid).
Strain the Curds: Line a colander with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and place it over a large bowl or in the sink. Carefully pour the curdled milk mixture into the colander, allowing the whey to drain away. You can save the whey for other culinary uses if desired.
