Homemade Ricotta Cheese ingredients:
2 quarts whole milk,
2 cups cold water,,
½ tsp. sugar,
1 tbsp kosher salt,
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar.
Place milk, water, sugar and salt in a large wide pot. Wait 5 minutes until dissolved.
Heat mixture on medium heat until it comes to a boil.
Slowly add vinegar and continue cooking until you see curdles appear.
Immediately remove from heat and let rest for 8 minutes allowing curds to develop.
Line a medium sized wire strainer with at least 4 layers of cheesecloth.
Place the strainer on top of a large bowl.
Skim the curds from the liquid (whey) by using a slotted spoon or skimmer.
Gently spoon the ricotta cheese into the strainer and allow to drain for about 20 minutes.
Refrigerate.
