Mozzarella Cheese

Ingredients 1 gallon whole milk (non ultra posterized) 1/4 tablet rennet 2 tsp citric acid Salt to taste Mix citric acid with 50ml of water, then combine with milk in medium size pot. Heat the milk until 90F and add rennet mixture (1/4 rennet tablet with 50ml of water). Reduce the heat and allow the milk to come to 105F, stirring gently, then remove from heat. Cover and let it rest for 5 min. Drain off the curds completely. Then microwave for 1 min, then remove moisture again and mix to distribute the heat. Microwave for another minute. Knead the cheese until it starts come together and begin stretching it out. Keep cheese hot, microwave few more times. The cheese should become smooth and shiny. Then put cheese into a salted ice cold water for a couple minutes. I didn’t salt the curds, but I kept cheese in salted water overnight. Got great result.
