Lebane - Middle Eastern Yogurt Cheese

4 cups of homemade Leban (Middle Eastern yoghurt)
1 tsp salt
Cheesecloth, or new cotton cloth

Procedure:
Pour the homemade yoghurt into the cheesecloth and fold up the corners. Twist the cheesecloth and tie up the cloth with a string. Hang the cloth in the kitchen over a deep dish to catch the whey that will drip out slowly. Let the yoghurt in the cloth hang for at least 8 hours, or overnight.

The next morning, unwrap the cloth and carefully scoop out the cheese into a container; refrigerate.

To serve:
Use as you would for cream cheese as a spread, either plain or add herbs. You can also sweeten the cheese with sugar and top with sugared berries for a tasty dessert. This can also be used as the base filling for homemade cheesecake.
