Pour the milk into the enamelware and heat to a temperature of 80 degrees. For maximum accuracy of the process, it is better to have a special thermometer at hand. When the milk is heated, season with salt and pour the lemon juice together with the vinegar. Remove the dishes from the heat and leave under the lid for 10 minutes. Milk clots on the surface gently remove or strain through gauze. Connect the ends of the gauze cut together, bind them and leave the homemade cheese from goat's milk suspended in a cool place for an hour. Sprinkle the surface of the cheese mass with dried herbs if desired.
