Instructions

  1. Pour the milk into a pot and heat it to about 50°C. No thermometer? The milk should be too hot to keep your finger in for more than 3 seconds.
  2. Once the milk is at that temperature, stir in the vinegar well and let it sit for 20 minutes until it curdles.
  3. Strain the curds through cheesecloth or a clean muslin cloth, squeezing out as much liquid as you can.
  4. Put the curds in a microwave-safe bowl without the cloth and microwave for 1 minute. Fold with a spatula until it starts to stretch and shows small cracks, then microwave for another 30 seconds.
  5. Add a pinch of salt and fold the cheese until smooth and shiny.
  6. Place the mozzarella ball in a bowl of very cold water for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the cheese from the water. It is ready to use.
