Steps:
- Combine water and citric acid in a small bowl; mix until dissolved.
- Pour milk into a large pot set over medium heat. Heat milk, stirring occasionally, until it registers 185 degrees F (85 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer. Do not boil and stir often to prevent scorching. Stir in citric acid. Keep stirring until curds form.
- Scoop curds into a sieve lined with several layers of cheesecloth using a slotted spoon. Fold the edges of the cheesecloth over the curds and let drain over a bowl at room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the cheese from the cheesecloth and cream and salt. Stir well to combine. Serve right away as-is or use in your favorite recipe.
