2 cups plain yogurt
Chives or other herbs of choice
Secure a cheesecloth across the top of a bowl. Place a wooden spoon across the top of the bowl and then tie the corners of the cheesecloth around the middle of the spoon, so that the cloth hangs over the bowl like a pocket. Spoon the yogurt onto the cheesecloth and allow to drain overnight. The next day you will have yogurt cheese, about the same consistency as cream cheese. Add herbs to your taste (roughly 2-1/2 tablespoons), mix well, and store in the refrigerator.
