Greek Yogurt image

When I wanted to make a recipe that called for "Greek" yogurt, I found that there was none to be had within 40 miles or so. So I went searching and found several recipes on the web. I was able to compile them into a simple recipe that worked pretty well, I thought. This is for a large batch, but is very easy to cut down to whatever amount you want to make. Tastes like yogurt to me!

Time 18h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 gallon whole milk
1 cup plain yogurt (containing "live culture", check ingredients)

Steps:

  • In a pan, bring milk to almost boiling.
  • Pour in to a non-metallic bowl.
  • Cover and allow to cool to between 110-120°F.
  • Gently mix in the yogurt.
  • Cover bowl top and bottom with towels to retain warmth as the yogurt sets-- 8 to 12 hours or overnight.
  • Do not disturb it until the yogurt thickens.
  • Drain any excess liquid and store in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
  • If you want a thicker yogurt, hang in a muslin bag or cheesecloth for several hours to drain.
  • You will lose a lot of volume in any additional dripping.
