How to Make Homemade Cottage Cheese

subheading: Our homemade cottage cheese recipe only takes three very basic ingredients to make: Milk, white vinegar, and salt. This recipe will yield two cups of cottage cheese:

1 gallon of milk

¾ cup of white vinegar or lemon juice

1 teaspoon of table or kosher salt

½ cup of heavy cream (optional)

Heavy cream is optional because you can add it to your recipe if you want to make your homemade cottage cheese extra creamy.

subheading: In addition to the ingredients, you'll need a list of equipment to make your homemade cottage cheese. This list is a bit longer than the ingredient list, but you should be able to easily find all of it in your kitchen:

A large, heavy-bottomed pot

Food thermometer

Whisk or wooden spoon

Colander

Cheese cloth or tea towel

Two extra bowls

Slotted spoon

Storage container such as a Tupperware

note: Note: Many people are also under the impression that you need to use raw milk to make cottage cheese, but this is not true. In fact, you can use any kind of milk when making homemade cottage cheese, and that includes milk that's about to go sour.
