Fold the thyme into the yoghurt and season with a little salt. Wet a piece of sheer cotton cloth until damp.
Pour the yoghurt onto the cloth and tie together with string. Hang in a cool place or refrigerate overnight, to allow the liquid to drain.
Remember to place a bowl underneath for the liquid to drain into. Once drained, loosen the string and unmould the cheese onto a serving platter.
Serve with beetroot and drizzle with thyme honey.
Garnish with fresh thyme and honeycomb.
