We call this Vinegar Cheese and is a great recipe for beginners and children.

You can use any acid such as lemon juice or vinegar to make this cheese. The acid causes the protein (curds or cheese) to separate from the other ingredients in the milk.

Remember Little Miss Muffett eating her curds and whey? The leftover liquid is whey and can be used to boil noodles in, feed to your animals or give your plants a special treat, among many other things.

Real ricotta is actually made from the whey that is leftover from other cheese making recipes.
