THE CURDLING
• The first part of the process is heating up the milk. The key is to bring it up to a simmer over low heat.
To do that pour the milk and salt in a large sauce pan and put the heat to low. Don’t walk away far from
the stove. The milk is ready when you start seeing tiny bubbles around the edges of the pan. Don’t get
the milk to boil or you will have super rubbery curds.
• Once the milk has heated up, turn off the heat and add in the vinegar and calamansi juice. Leave the
milk to cool and you will see the curds start separating from the whey (milk juice)
• When the milk has cooled and you see large cunks of curds start to drain it. Put a strainer over a bowl
and line it with a clean cotton cloth. Leave for an hour to drip through, then fold over the cloth and start
pressing out more of the whey. If you want it creamy, just use your hands to press through. If you want
it for firm, place something heavy like a book on top of the cloth.
