Home Made Greek Yoghurt

For those of you who have made my homemade natural yoghurt, I have tried a new twist to this original recipe; turning it into Greek Yoghurt.

I love the creaminess of Greek Yoghurt but many of the store bought Greek Yoghurts use thickeners to get this consistency and add $1 to the price for the privilege.

Using the wisdom of the internet, I searched Greek Yoghurt and came up with the following method:

1. Make my homemade natural yoghurt and let it sit in the fridge for 24 hrs

2. Tip the yoghurt into a fine muslin bag (a bag that will let the liquid drain without the yoghurt escaping)

3. Place the muslin bag into a flour sifter/colander and then place the sifter over a bowl. Make sure that the sifter does not touch the bottom of the bowl as you want the liquid to drain freely from the yoghurt

4. I would suggest tasting the yoghurt after one hour to see if it's thick enough for you. I let mine drain for 2 hours and it was a bit too thick so I will try 1.5 hours next time.

Enjoy
