The longer milk sits out, the more curds will form, just like when adding more lemon juice to the milk. As more lemon juice was added to the milk, more curds began to form. For the formation of curdles to occur, the substance must be at room temperature. This is because if the milk is too hot, the milk will be too thin to produce anything, and if the milk is to cold,
