How to drain yoghurt:
Take a 500g tub of plain yoghurt. Place on a double piece of muslin (available from haberdashery stores), tie up like a sack and place in a strainer over a deep bowl.
Put into the fridge and let drain for at least 2 hours. From this amount of yoghurt you should get about 1-1/2 cups of drained yoghurt.The longer you drain yoghurt the drier it becomes.
Drained yoghurt is ideal for making a basic cheese called labna; delicious cheese balls marinated in oil and spices and served as a nibble with bread.
Drained yoghurt can also be used as a sweet, drizzled with honey.
The whey - the liquid left after draining - can be used to cook rice.
