Instructions
Place a strainer lined with several pieces of cheesecloth over a large bowl. Set aside.
Pour milk, cream, and salt into a large pot. Attach thermometer to the side of the pot so it is not touching the bottom. Bring milk mixture to 190° F.
Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice very gently, and let mixture sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
Pour mixture through cheesecloth-lined strainer. Let sit for 2 hours.
Discard liquid. That’s it – now you have ricotta!
