Yogurt Cheese Recipe
1. Drain the yogurt – Put a muslin or cheese cloth over a strainer. Now pour the yogurt over muslin cloth to drain. Place a bowl underneath the strainer to collect the excess water.
2. Next gently squeeze the excess water from yogurt. Make sure not to squeeze out the yogurt.
3. Move the yogurt with strainer and bowl into the refrigerator for at least six hours to drain excess water.
4. Yogurt will become thick in consistency.
Notes
When the water is draining from the yogurt, it’s suggested to keep the yogurt in the refrigerator in order to keep the yogurt from becoming more sour.
