The Best Homemade Greek Yogurt
Ingredients
1 liter or 4 cups Milk
75g or 1/4 cup Yogurt plain with active cultures
Directions:
All right food Dees
First, we are going to start by adding 1 liter or 4 cups of 3 % milk to a pot. you can use skim milk if you like to make it lower calorie. a place to pot on medium-high heat and we are going to bring this to 180F or 80 C. Make sure you stir to keep a skin from forming or burning the bottom of the pot. A thermometer is going to be important in this recipe I have linked you in the description if you need one.
Once you have reached 180f, let's go ahead and remove this from the heat.
we are going to let this cool until it reaches 115f or 46c
you can speed this up by placing the bowl on an ice bath and stir it until it reaches 115f
Once we have reached 115f we are going to take a bit of the milk and mix it with 1/4 cup or 75 grams of plain yogurt with live cultures this is important as we need those cultures to make the yogurt. mix it well until the yogurt is combined with the milk. then we are going to add the mixture back to the milk and mix it in.
let's cover the bowl with cling film and place it on a baking sheet.
Then grab the warmest towel you have and let's wrap our yogurt baby in it to keep it warm. we are trying to keep the temp at 115 f. We are going to take our yogurt baby and place it in the oven with the light on for 6-12 hours. the longer you leave it the thicker it will be.
pro tip if you have a good thermometer turn your oven on for a min or so just to get the temp of the oven to 115f. but be careful to high and it will stop the cultures from making the yogurt.
After you left it for 6-12 hours you will have regular yogurt. this is good as it but we are going to kick it up a notch and make thick Greek yogurt.
place a strainer over a bowl and add cheesecloth. or a towel you can even use a coffee filter here. Pour your yogurt into the strainer and over and place it into the fridge for a few hours or overnight. The longer you leave it the thicker it will be. and with the power of youtube magic here is your homemade greek yogurt. Now I left mine a little too long and it's thick as cream cheese! so I am going to add some of the weigh back and mix it up to get the thickness I like.
there we go perfect
let put this in a bowl and top with some fresh strawberries, granola, and some honey.
