Fresh Cheese Recipe

It is soo easy to make fresh cheese at home! All you need is fresh milk and lime juice. You can also use yogurt, lemon or other agents but for me lime juice tastes the best.
I learned this from my Ayurvedic Culinary Training with @divyaalter at @bvtlife and been enjoying it since then many times with such joy!
Sometimes I keep it loose and mix with spices and sometimes I press and make slices.
