Preparation

In a saucepan, heat the milk and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
As soon as it boils, add the lemon juice and then turn off the heat.
Set aside for a few minutes while the milk curdles (within a few minutes all your curds should have formed).
Pour through a nut milk bag or a cheesecloth and strain through a sieve and strain all the liquid whey.
Rinse the curds with cold water and then strain until there is no more liquid.
Add strained milk, salt, and a splash of heavy whipping cream to your Beast Blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into bowl and add the chives, green onion, roasted garlic, and mix until well combined.
