How to make cottage cheese

You only need to take one ingredient – kefir.

It should first be poured into a saucepan and then heated over low heat. The fermented milk product should be stirred periodically.

As soon as the curd mass appears on the surface, you can turn off the heat.

The temperature of kefir should be about 60-70 degrees.

The pan needs to be covered with a lid for an hour.

Afterwards, you should throw the mass into a sieve, which should first be lined with gauze.

You need to wait until all the whey drains. In the end, only natural and tasty cottage cheese will remain.

From two liters of kefir, approximately 350-400 grams of a nutritious and tasty product should remain.
