Homemade Greek Yogurt
I love greek yogurt--so creamy, delicious...and expensive. Too expensive for me to buy regularly. But, I recently discovered that you can make greek yogurt at home. Apparently, greek yogurt is simply regular yogurt that has had the whey (liquid) strained out. Who knew?
What you need:
Place the cloth in the colander and set over the bowl. I didn't like buying cheesecloth all the time, so I bought a set of very thin white kitchen towels. I just run it through the washer when I'm done and it works great. If you're using cheesecloth, I'd double it up.
Pour in the yogurt. Wait about 2-4 hours, depending on how thick you want your yogurt.
Discard the liquid whey in the bowl. (I've read that you can use whey rather than water when making bread. I need to try that in my homemade honey wheat bread!)
Scoop out the yogurt from the cloth, and enjoy your homemade greek yogurt!
