Method
Start by straining the yoghurt to thicken slightly. Rest a sieve over a bowl and line with a muslin cloth, a chux wipe or even paper towel. Pour in the yoghurt, season with salt and gently stir through. Bring all the sides of the cloth up and twist together. Then tie with kitchen string or a rubber band. Allow to strain for 1-2 hours. Discard the liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
