Try making your own ricotta cheese at home! It's quick, easy, cheap and so much fresher than most ricottas you buy in the store.&nbsp;

How to make Homemade Ricotta Cheese

litre of full cream milk (wholemilk)

salt

lemon juice

(have a sheet of cheesecloth with you as well)

Put your milk and a good pinch of salt in a pot. Heat up over the stove on high heat (keep an eye on the milk as it can boil over and make a huge mess).

Just as the milk comes to a boil, turn the heat off, then add your lemon juice/vinegar. Give the milk a gentle stir, you should start to see the curds separate from the water content. Set the pot aside then leave it for about 15 minutes.

Put a sieve over a large bowl, then put a layer of cheesecloth over that sieve. Strain the cheese curds, then leave the ricotta to dry out on the cheesecloth. I recommend&nbsp;anywhere between&nbsp;30-60 minutes. The longer you leave the cheese, the dryer the consistency will be.&nbsp;

From there, put your ricotta cheese in a container, then store it in your fridge.
