1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup white vinegar or lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh parsley, mint or chives, chopped

Directions

1

In a large saucepan, combine milk and cream. Place over low heat. Insert thermometer into mixture and slowly heat to 194°F. Do not boil.
2

Add vinegar and stir twice to combine. Remove from heat. Cover with a clean tea towel and set aside for 10-15 mins, until mixture separates into a firm white curd and whey.
3

Line a strainer with fine muslin and place over a large bowl. Gently spoon curds into strainer, draining off whey. Gather corners of cloth together and tie with butcher's twine. Hang in refrigerator for 1-2 hrs to drain excess whey. To serve, season with salt and herbs.
