Step 1

Pour the milk kefir into a bowl lined with butter muslin, a cotton bag, or tight-weave cloth.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Mix herbs into the kefir cheese and refrigerate for 2+ hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Serve as a soft cheese spread on crackers or bread. Also makes a wonderful vegetable dip.
