Macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza, grilled cheese—many of us eat cheese every day. So where does cheese come from? You probably buy it at the store. But you can also make cheese at home with only a few simple things. First, you need to get everything ready. You will need milk, lemon juice, a saucepan, a spoon, and a clean piece of cloth, like a handkerchief or a bandanna. Pour 2 cups of milk into the pan on the stove and heat until it boils. Once the milk boils, turn the burner off but leave the pan sitting on the stove. Next, stir in 10 tablespoons of lemon juice. The lemon juice will make the milk curdle, which means to separate into curds and whey. Curds are the solid part, and whey is the liquid part. Stir the mixture well and then let the pan sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, make a cone shape out of the handkerchief and pour the mixture through the cloth into the sink. The liquid whey will pass through the cloth into the sink and the solid curds will be caught in the cloth. These curds will be the cheese. Finally, squeeze the curds through the cloth to get out all the moisture. Form the curds into a ball and let it harden. Now you have homemade cheese, ready to slice and put in salads, on sandwiches, or even on pizza!
