Makes 4 cups __ Yogurt cheese ___ To make approximately 3 cups, use 3 16-ounce containers of yogurt. Rinse and squeeze dry a large piece of cheesecloth. Double it and use to line a strainer. Spoon in yogurt, fold over any excess cloth to cover, and set over a bowl to drain overnight, refrigerated. Scrape cheese into a covered container. Final yield will depend on how much liquid was in yogurt.
