Ingredients You’ll Need:
Milk: Start with fresh, high-quality milk. While any type of milk will work, whole milk will yield a creamier and richer feta cheese.
Acid: You’ll need an acid to curdle the milk and separate the curds from the whey. Lemon juice or white vinegar are commonly used for this purpose.
Salt: Salt is essential for flavoring the cheese and preserving it. Opt for a coarse sea salt or kosher salt for the best results.
How to Make Homemade Feta Cheese:
Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a large saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of around 180°F (82°C). Stir the milk occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
Add the Acid: Once the milk reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and slowly stir in the lemon juice or vinegar. You’ll start to see the milk curdle and separate into curds and whey.
