Pour the milk in a large bowl.
Add lemon juice.
Cover and refrigerate at least 36 hours.
Pour milk into a large pot with a thick bottom (not an aluminum pot).
Add at least 1 cup yogurt.
Mix well and bring to a boil.
Allow to simmer 1 minute.
To drain, line a large sieve with a double thickness of cheesecloth.
Pour in the milk and form a sort of bag which you will now hang for at least 1 hour.
For a drier ricotta, allow to drain for 2-3 hours, or more.
