Let strain until you can form a ball with your Ricotta. Drain the curds for up to 60 minutes: depending on how wet or dry you prefer your ricotta. The whey will drip into the larger bowl. Press gently, releasing some liquid (don't press out too much liquid or cheese may be dry). Return ball of cheese to colander and let rest 20 minutes.


Enjoy!~
