Steps:
- Line a fine-mesh sieve or colander with three layers of damp cheesecloth and set it over a large bowl. Pour the kefir into the cheesecloth-lined sieve. Allow it to drain for 24 hours in the refrigerator or on a cool countertop; transfer the drained kefir to a small heatproof bowl or pot and place this in a larger pot. Set it on the stove and fill the larger pot with enough water so that it's even with the kefir in the bowl, but not high enough that the water can spill over the sides of the bowl and into the kefir. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for 5 minutes. Turn the heat off and let cool, while sitting in the water, to room temperature. When cool, line another fine-mesh sieve or colander with three fresh layers of cheesecloth and pour the kefir into the colander, letting the liquid drain off.
- When the liquid has mostly drained, bring the corners of the cheesecloth together, forming a ball, and give the remaining cheese a good squeeze, holding the corners tightly. (Discard the liquid.) Use kitchen string or butcher's twine to tie the corners of the cheesecloth together and hang the kefir over a sink or bowl overnight (unrefrigerated in a cool kitchen, away from sunlight). In the morning, it will resemble densely packed cottage cheese. Transfer the cheese to a sealed container and store in the refrigerator.
HOME MADE FARMER'S CHEESE
My Polish friend's mother gave me this recipe years ago. She has been making this cheese forever in her house and also ate it while growing up in Poland. This is an easy home made farmer's cheese. It doesn't age well, so be sure you eat it within a week after it's made - well, if you can let it last that long. If you bake with it, it melts very beautifully. It makes a perfect soft cheese for snacking.

Steps:
- Pour the milk into a large pot, and stir in a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching on the bottom of the pot.
- When the milk begins to boil (small bubbles will first appear at the edges), turn off the heat. Stir lemon juice into the milk, and the milk will curdle. You may need to wait 5 or 10 minutes.
- Line a sieve or colander with a cheesecloth, and pour the milk through the cloth to catch the curds. What is left in the cheesecloth is the Farmer's Cheese. The liquid is the whey. Some people keep the whey and drink it, but I throw it away. Gather the cloth around the cheese, and squeeze out as much of the whey as you can. Wrap in plastic, or place in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator.

KEFIR CHEESE
I am always looking for ways to use the kefir I make. You can strain the liquid kefir to make a yogurt or strain it further to make a cream-cheese.But I ran across many many posts in Lithuanian blogs for a different way to make a creamy ricotta-like cheese. I loved the result - I am still playing around with it, but I think it would work instead of ricotta in many recipes. I make whole milk kefir and your yield will depend on the butterfat content of the milk you start with - the higher the butterfat, the more cheese you will have. Lowfat kefir will make less cheese. And don't discard the whey - use it instead of milk or water in pancakes, quick breads, etc. Or use to water your plants. We loved it just plain spread on wholegrain rye bread, topped with a slice of avocado for me.

Steps:
- Pour the kefir into a 1 quart food storage bag (like a Ziploc), squeeze out the air, seal, and place in freezer. I placed it in an upright container to try to maintain a more compact shape.
- When frozen (6 hours or so), strip off the plastic and place in a cheese bag or in a colander lined with four or so layers of cheesecloth or with butter muslin. Place over a bowl and let the whey drip. I do this on the counter, but it's cool here right now. This will take 8 to 12 hours.
- Remove cheese and store in refrigerator. It should be good for at least a couple of weeks. Use plain or flavor with herbs, garlic, etc. You could also add some cream to make it creamier.
