Directions
Make Your Own Greek Yoghurt,Greek yoghurt is awesome stuff. Thick, creamy, rich beyond belief, but still lighter in fat than commercial sour cream, and a great sub for it. Now you can make your own! This is from gourmetsleuth.com. Time to make is approximate, as there is an overnight process involved.,Please I really want to understand the ingredients used.. Am just a novice..,I’ve been making yoghurt in a crock pot for over a year now. Put 1/2 gallon of milk into a Crockpot. Heat on high until it reaches 180 or so (note the time and you’ll never need to check the temperature again). Let it cool down to 105 or so (again; note how long this takes; in my crockpot it takes about 2 hours 45 minutes to heat and almost 3 and a half hours to cool). Whisk in 1/2 cup of good yoghurt with live cultures and wrap your crockpot in blankets or towels; leave for 8-12 hours (I usually start this process around 2 pm and let it sit overnight). Perfect yoghurt every time! You can strain it to make greek yoghurt. I find that wide-mouth quart jars are perfect to store the yoghurt; I even found a funnel on line that makes it easier to fill the jars without making a mess. Active work time: about 5 minutes. And only one pot to clean!

Bring Milk to Just Under Boiling Point and Then Pour the Milk Into a Glass or Earthenware Dish. Let the Milk Cool to About 42c/104f Pour the Yogurt/Milk Mixture Into the Milk Carefully Without Disturbing the Skin That May Have Formed on the Surface of the Milk. Cover With a Cloth, Place in a Warm, Draft-Free Place For 8 to 12 Hours or Overnight, and Do not Disturb It Until the Yoghurt Thickens. Drain Any Excess Liquid and Store in the Fridge. |

to Make a "thick" Yoghurt, Remove the Skin on the Surface of the Yoghurt (this Is Edible, Btw, and Lovely Sprinkled With a Bit of Sugar) and Pour the Yoghurt Into a Muslin or Cheesecloth Bag. Hang the Bag Over a Bowl and Let Drain For About 2 Hours or Until the Desired Thickness Is Obtained. |
