To prepare these amazing yogurt balls, you need to drain all the excess water from the yogurt. Lay a piece of muslin (loosely woven cotton fabric) on a workbench and place the yogurt in the centre. Gather up the muslin sides and tie with string; place on a drainer over a large bowl and leave to drain in the fridge for 12-14 hours.
