It's a Fromage Blanc or Farmer's Cheese recipe... Hmmm... Cheeeeeeesy!!!
Ingredients:
1 quart fresh, local whole milk
1 cup active-culture buttermilk
2 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar, more if needed (The lemon juice will give a ricotta taste to your cheese)
3/4 tsp salt, or to taste

My version and experiment...
My 1st try was really an experiment. There was no measure or anything. Just skim milk and lemon juice. I actually got a cheese, but the texture and taste remind me Ricotta. Yeah! It was everything, but creamy, but I blame the skim milk... At least healthier than the plan A. Oh! And about time, it doesn't exactly matters. You may check your "product" with a fork. When you feel it's a lot or enough cheese, just put everything in a cheesecloth and let it drain. What did I do? I made the batch, left it on the counter and went for a walk with Mike. When we came back I checked and all the miracle was done. I left it drain while we were watching TV and that's it. Cheeeeeeeesy!!! :P
Experiement #2...
I had 1/2 cup of buttermilk from the butter recipe in the fridge then I put it in a bowl and left on the counter till it become lukewarm. Add 2 cups of skim milk and 1 teaspoon of vinegar.
