Final Comments


Add herbs to taste for dips. I sometimes add a little sugar or sweetener to cut the tartness.

I save the liquid for use in bread baking.

Those mesh permanent coffee filters do a great job for straining yogurt. Similar filters are available just for yogurt. These are much easier to use than cheesecloth.
