1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 to 2 cloves garlic, mined

Yogurt Cheese: Suspend small colander over bowl. Lime colander with three layers cotton cheesecloth or a paper coffee filter. Spoon in 2 cups yogurt. (Use yogurt without gums, gelatin, or fillers to ensure whey and curd separate.) Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 24 hours. Discard liquid.
