vinegar or lemon juice (approx. 1/2 to 3/4 cup)
-
olive oil
-
salt and pepper to taste

3 garlic cloves crushed, or to taste

dried thyme, to taste (or whatever other herb you like)
Heat a gallon of goat milk to about 185°F. Add vinegar or lemon juice to make milk curdle, which should take no more than 10 seconds. (If it takes longer to curdle, either milk is not hot enough or not enough vinegar or lemon juice was added). Stir to mix. Pour into a cheesecloth lined colander. Suspend cheesecloth over sink for about 3 hours. Remove cheese from cheesecloth and break into small crumbles, place in large bowl. Add olive oil to coat lightly. Add salt and crushed pepper (some may prefer peppercorns). Add crushed garlic cloves and herb. Enjoy,especially good on bruchetta!
