A week ago or so, the boys were watching Curious George as they woke up. On the show, George visits a dairy where they are making cheese. "Mom! It's so easy to make cheese! You just take milk and add lemon juice and you get cheese! We have to do it!" Clayton told me immediately after seeing it on tv. A quick Google search later and we were in the cheese making business. Clearly, the boys are excited.
First we had to heat our milk.
Then we had to be cheesy.
We measured out our lemon juice.
Once our milk reached temperature, we added the lemon juice and watched the milk transform/curdle.
After letting it sit, we drained away the whey.
Then we had to be cheesy.
We rinsed the cheese and ate it. I have to say, it was okay. I've had much better cheese. My expectations weren't high as I didn't spend a lot of time searching for the best recipe. It did take a lot of milk to make a little cheese. At least the boys' curiosity was satisfied.
