In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat milk, cream, and salt over medium heat while stirring. Cook just until the mixture comes to a boil.
Remove from the heat, add the vinegar, and stir to combine.
Let the mixture rest undisturbed for 30 minutes to allow curds to form.
Line a strainer or colander with 2 layers of damp cheesecloth. Gently spoon the ricotta curds into the strainer.
Allow to drain 30-45 minutes.
