How to make thick ,rich tasty Greek Yogurt quickly simply and easily. This Greek Yogurt recipe yields a lush creamy yogurt that is far better than anything you can buy in a store.

Yogurt has many health benefits and making it yourself will not only save you money, it will give you a far better taste experience.

HOMEMADE GREEK-STYLE YOGURT



Homemade Greek-style Yogurt image

You don't need a yogurt maker or any special equipment to make yogurt at home. Just follow the easy directions and you too can have good thick Greek-style whenever you want.

Categories     Other Sauces

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 quart(s) full fat cow's or sheep milk
2 tablespoon(s) tablespoons of previously homemade yogurt or plain unflavored yogurt with active live cultures
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) of full fat milk (same type) as used above

Steps:

  • Start with all ingredients at room temperature. Heat the milk just to the boiling point and pour into a non-metal container. Let cool to lukewarm (100-105-degrees). A skin will form on top. Mix the 2 tablespoons of yogurt (homemade or commercial) with 2 tablespoons of milk. Add to the lukewarm mixture, carefully pouring down the side so that any skin that may have formed on top is not disturbed.
  • Cover with a clean dishtowel and place on another towel in a warm, dry place for at least 8 hours (or overnight) until it thickens. Note: 8 to 12 hours is best. The longer the yogurt coagulates beyond that time, the more sour the taste becomes. Carefully drain any excess liquid.* Refrigerate for 4 hours before using. Store in the refrigerator and use within 4-5 days.
  • Don't forget to save a small amount to make the next batch! The yogurt can be eaten as is, along with the creamy skin on top. To make the thick yogurt used in many Greek recipes, follow these directions after step*.
  • I set my yogurt in the oven overnight. We have cats and I don't want to tempt them by leaving milk only covered with a dishtowel. One of my favorite ways to eat this great yogurt is with walnuts and honey. So good and good for you too.

  • Pour the regular homemade yogurt in the bag made from cheesecloth. If you don’t have that kind of a bag, line the top of a bowl with a double layer of cheesecloth and fix it there with an elastic band and pour yogurt on it.
  • Fold the excessive top of the bag and put something heavy on it. I put a small mortar made of brass, but a large stone works fine too. This helps the straining process better. If you don’t have the bag, just skip this part.
  • Wait it this way in the refrigerator overnight. I let it sit there for 8 hours and it’s super thick and creamy, just like cream cheese. If you don’t want your Greek yogurt very thick, 3-4 hours will be fine too.
