Homemade Greek Yogurt
Homemade Greek Yogurt Recipe with step by step pictures. How to make greek yogurt easily at home with just milk.
Equipment
Sauce Pan
Colander, Cheesecloth
Ingredients
- 1 litre Full Fat Milk
- 3 to 4 tablespoon Yogurt from previous batch
Instructions
- Take milk in a sauce pan. Use full fat milk, full cream cow’s milk is best for making greek style yogurt. Once you add milk to sauce pan. Place it on heat and bring it to a boil. Once milk starts to boil. Take it off the heat. Leave the milk to come to warm temperature. It will take few hours.
- If you insert your finger into the milk it should feel warm to touch. The temperature of the milk will be 185 degrees F (85 degrees C) to be exact.
- Now take your yogurt in a small bowl and whisk till creamy. Pour this over the warm milk and mix well. Cover loosely and let the milk ferment for at least 10 to 12 hours or overnight. The longer you ferment the more sour the yogurt will get.
- Next day the yogurt should be set. Now take a bowl, line with cheesecloth. Pour the yogurt over the cheese cloth. Fold the cheesecloth over the yogurt. Now place some weight on top of the cheesecloth to press the yogurt. I used a bowl filled with water. Transfer this to fridge and leave it to drain in fridge for 4 hours.
- Now the whey must have collected in the bowl below. Thick and creamy greek yogurt is ready. Transfer this to an air tight container and store in fridge and use as required.
