Prepare the Milk: Dissolve the citric acid in 1/2 cup of water, then add it to the milk in a large pot. Heat the mixture slowly on medium while gently stirring until the milk reaches 90°F (32°C).
Add the Rennet: Dissolve the liquid rennet in the remaining 1/2 cup of water, then add it to the milk. Stir gently for about 30 seconds, and then let the milk sit undisturbed for 5 minutes. You’ll notice the milk starting to curdle.
Cut the Curd: Once the milk has set, use a knife to cut the curd into cubes, creating a grid pattern.
Cook the Curd: Gradually heat the curds to 105°F (40°C), gently moving them around. You’ll see the curds begin to come together and separate from the whey.
Shape the Mozzarella: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the curds to a bowl. Sprinkle in the kosher salt and then fold and stretch the curds until they form a smooth, elastic ball of mozzarella.
Cool Down: Place your freshly made mozzarella into a bowl of ice water to set its shape and cool it down.
