 2 qts milk
 1 cup heavy cream
 ½ tsp salt
 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1

Line a large sieve with a layer of heavy-duty (fine-mesh) cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl.

2

Slowly bring milk, cream, and salt to a rolling boil in a 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Add lemon juice, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture curdles, about 2 minutes.

3

Pour the mixture into the lined sieve and let it drain 1 hour. After discarding the liquid, chill the ricotta, covered; it will keep in the refrigerator 2 days.
