Making cream cheese from yogurt, by Kira

Cheese is expensive.

Organic cheese is twice the price of conventional cheese.

Our kids love cheese, especially cream cheese.

I have started making our own cream cheese from yogurt.

Very easy. Super tasty!

You will need:

Yogurt. I use 2.5% plain organic.

Towel or cheese cloth for draining liquid from yogurt.

Juice jug or something similar in size.

Night before you plan to eat:

Hang the towel or cheese cloth inside of the jug. Make sure it is hanging well

above the bottom of the jug or your cheese is not going to drain.

Place the yogurt into the towel.

You can hold the towel or cheese cloth

in place with the lid or use an elastic.

Let this drain over night.

In the morning put your creamy yogurt into a bowl

and mix in some fresh garden herbs.

My favourite mix:

pinch of salt

tablespoon or so of lemon juice

fresh basil

fresh chives

I served this batch up on homemade sesame rye crackers.
