Milk kefir
Fresh or dried herbs, such as Herbs de Provence

INSTRUCTIONS:

Pour the milk kefir into a bowl lined with butter muslin, a cotton bag, or tight-weave cloth.
Gather up corners of cloth and hang above bowl or jar and drain for 6-8 hours, or until the desired thickness is achieved. Save the whey in a closed container in the refrigerator.
Mix herbs into the kefir cheese and refrigerate for 2+ hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a soft cheese spread on crackers or bread. Also makes a wonderful vegetable dip.
