I'll be honest and say I haven't tried this yet but I was just so intrigued by the idea of making my own cottage cheese that I had to share.

Instructions (8 steps)

01Heat the milk to 190F.
02You will need a thermometer for other cheeses but you can get by here turning off the heat just before the milk begins to boil.
03Add the vinegar and allow the mixture to cool.
04When cool, pour the mixture, which now consists of curds and whey into a colander and drain off the whey.
05Pour the curds into a bowl and sprinkle on the salt and mix well.
06You may wish to use less salt or more, depending on your taste.
07A little cream could also be added, for a more silky variation.
