Here's what you'll need!

Ingredients:

• 285 grams (about .625 pounds) of sharp cheddar (or cheese of your choice!), grated
• 2 teaspoons of citric acid 
• 2.5 teaspoons of baking soda
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 jalapeños, finely diced (optional if you like to bring the heat!)

Steps:

• Combine water, citric acid, and baking soda and stir well until combined. 
• Add in milk and bring liquids to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Add in your cheese in small batches, making sure to whisk constantly. When all cheese is fully melted, add in your jalapeños, stir well and serve!
