Steps:
- You will need a saucepan, a bowl, a sieve, and a scalded cloth to line sieve.
- If using yogurt, bring the milk to a boil and then leave it to cool to finger temperature (100°F).
- Mix the milk with the yogurt in a basin.
- Put in a warm place for 4 to 5 hours to set as solid as yogurt.
- If using vinegar or lemon juice, stir into the milk and bring it to a near boil (200°F) in a bowl set in a saucepan of water.
- Remove and keep in a warm place for 4 to 5 hours.
- Pour the mixture into a sieve lined with a scalded clean cloth.
- After an hour put a plate on top to weight and encourage the whey to drip through.
- The curds in the cloth are the cheese (Quark).
- Cover and store the Quark in a cool pantry, and it will keep for about a week.
- You can use the whey, flavored with fruit juice, as a beverage- or use it to make scones.
- Store the whey in refrigerator and use within 2 days.
