This simple and quick homemade feta cheese can be rustled up in no
time. It is a useful recipe if you need something salty to add to a
dish.
Ingredients
- 2L Milk
- ½ Cup White Vinegar
- Pot to heat the milk
- Sieve or Colander
- Muslin Cloth or Cheese Cloth
- Garlic & Herb Seasoning (or experiment with other options)
- Salt
- Fridge storage container
Instructions
- Heat the milk on your stove. Do not let the milk boil. When little bubbles form around the edges, your milk is warm enough.
- Switch off your stove and pour ½ a cup of vinegar in the pot of milk.
With a wooden spoon, stir the vinegar in. Do not stir vigorously. Just
give it a little swirl so that the vinegar is pushed around the pot. - Leave the vinegar and milk mixture for about 20–30 minutes. It will cool down and separate.
- Line a sieve or colander with muslin cloth and either place it over a
large pot or in the sink. Pour the milk and vinegar mixture into the
cloth and let it drain for about an hour. - Once drained, place the cheese into a mixing bowl.
- Add a teaspoon of garlic and herb seasoning and a teaspoon of table
salt. Use a fork to break up the cheese and mix in the seasoning. After
it has been mixed well, taste the cheese. I usually add a bit more salt
and mix again. I continuously taste the cheese until it tastes as salty
as store-bought feta. - Move the cheese into your fridge container. I press the cheese down into
the container with a fork so that it forms a solid block. I then use a
knife to shave off crumbly bits and sprinkle them over my salads or
sandwiches.
