I expect to be indoors for about a month, although it could be a much longer time than that. Before going stir crazy, I think about food projects I can do that will actually empower me to extend or preserve foods that I don’t always do. Yogurt is just one of those foods that I’m not so great at eating very often, but I like to keep it in the fridge for a variety of recipes, as a sour cream substitute, and for any tummy aches because it’s such a good probiotic, which is essential to gut health- but….<\/em>it can be a little difficult on those of us who are lactose-intolerant and for me, this has become an even bigger issue while I’ve been in Turkey, for some reason. That said, I opt for making yogurt cheese, commonly known throughout the Middle East as labneh. <\/em>Here’s how I make it:<\/p>\n

I use four things: a cheesecloth<\/a> to hold the yogurt, twine or a clip or rubber band to tie the cloth, a colander\/strainer where the yogurt can drip, and a bowl underneath that to catch it all. <\/p>\n

I prefer to use organic cheesecloth<\/a> because other cotton towels may be bleached, which is no bueno for our food…
