Steps:
- Pour milk into a saucepan set over medium heat. Heat milk until it registers 194 degrees F (90 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir lemon juice and salt slowly into warmed milk. Let stand until milk curdles, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Pour milk mixture carefully into the lined strainer. Let stand until most of the liquid has drained off the ricotta, about 15 minutes. Discard drained liquid.

Steps:
- Line a large colander with 2 layers of cheesecloth and place over a large bowl.
- In a 5 to 6 quart pot over medium heat, heat milk, cream, and salt, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching, until mixture foams and comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add lemon juice. Simmer, stirring, until mixture curdles, 2 minutes for small curds. If you'd like a larger, dryer curd, continue to simmer an additional 2 minutes.
- Pour mixture into cheesecloth lined colander and drain 10 to 15 minutes or until desired texture is achieved. Empty liquid from bowl if necessary to ensure proper draining. Reserved whey can be used in smoothies or soup. Chill ricotta until ready to use.
- Serve spread onto crostini with a drizzle of olive oil, dollop over pasta or pizza, or stir into scrambled eggs. Ricotta will keep in the fridge for 1 week.
HOMEMADE "RICOTTA"
Fresh ricotta is made using whey left over from making fresh mozzarella, I am going to show you how to make a similar cheese using milk and cream. I prefer freshly made curd cheese in my dishes rather than store-bought, because the flavor profile has more depth.

Steps:
- Pour the milk and cream into a wide, heavy-bottomed nonreactive saucepan and bring to a simmer over high heat. Turn off the heat, add the lemon juice and salt, and allow to cool without stirring for 5-10 minutes: you will see curds forming.
- Line a strainer or colander with a single layer of cheesecloth and place it in the sink. Gently scoop the curds out of the saucepan into the lined colander. (Don't simply pour everything at once, as you don't want to break up the curds that have formed.) Once you have scooped all of the curds into the colander, let the ricotta drain until it is no longer runny, but a thick, spoonable consistency, 15-20 minutes.
- The warm ricotta can be served right away. If you are serving it later, or need it to be drier (e.g., for ravioli filling or cheesecake), lay a wooden spoon across the colander. Lift the corners of the cheesecloth and tie them around the spoon, creating a bundle. Place the wooden spoon over a bowl so the ricotta bundle hangs suspended over the bowl, allowing additional liquid to drain away. Place the draining ricotta in the refrigerator overnight, or until it reaches desired consistency.

Steps:
- Line a colander with a few layers of cheesecloth and put it into the sink.
- Pour milk and buttermilk into large pot. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Curds will begin to rise up and clump on the surface. Once the mixture is steaming, stop stirring. Curds and whey will separate. Whey will look like cloudy water underneath a mass of white curds (this will happen at about 140 degrees F). When separated, turn off the heat and ladle the curds into the cheesecloth. When all curds are in the cloth and the dripping has slowed, gently bring up the edges of cloth and twist it to bring the curds together. Give a squeeze to let the water continue to drain. Tie it with string and hang it over the sink or a pan to drain for about 15 minutes or so. Let it drain 15 minutes more.
- Discard the whey. Untie the cheesecloth and pack the ricotta into airtight containers. Refrigerate and use within 1 week, or eat immediately. Serve with crusty garlic bread, olive oil and chunky salt, herbs or something else good.

Steps:
- Put the milk over low heat, and bring to scald point (150 degrees).
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in lemon juice, and the milk will curdle.
- Let the mixture sit without refrigeration for 2-12 hours. This is the mellowing process, and it seems that the more patient you are, the mellower the cheese.
- Place 2 thickenesses of cheesecloth in a strainer.
- Place the strainer over a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into the strainer, and allow the whey to drain several hours until the curd is dry.
- Flavor as you choose. Mix with blue cheese, roquefort, peanut butter, honey, nuts, spices or eat plain.
