+The ricotta is an Italian cheese made by cooking the whey (liquid byproduct of the cheese production), by cooking it at an high temperature (80-90°C), hence the name "ricotta", which means "cooked again". Even though it's typically made from the whey, you can make it directly from the milk as well.
+
+## Ingredients
+
+- thermometer
+- 1 cheesecloth
+- 1 cheese recipient
+- 2l of whey
+- 500ml of milk (or if not using whey, 2l of milk)
+- 10g of table salt
+- 6g of citric acid (contained in 130ml of lemon juice)
+
+## Directions
+
+### Preparation
+
+Pour the milk (and/or whey) and the salt into a pot, stir it well, and heat it up to 80°C.
+Once the temperature has been reached, add the citric acid (or lemon juice) and stir well. You should already see the citric acid react with the milk/whey.
+Heat it up to 90°C
+Pour the ricotta in the cheesecloth and let the whey drip.
+Move the ricotta into the cheese recipient.
+Store in the fridge.
