In love with Greek yogurt, but not in love with the price? Here's how to make your own for a lot less coin.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- Plain yogurt
Preparation:
1. Line a strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth, and place over a bowl.
2. Pour a container of plain yogurt into the strainer.
3. Cover and refrigerate for three hours.
4. Check to see if the yogurt has reached your desired thickness. If not, stick it back in for another hour.
5. Serve with honey, fruit, nuts or any other toppings that you like.
Tip:
1. If you don't have cheesecloth, you can use a coffee filter or an old (but clean) pillowcase instead.
2. Save the whey that drains from your yogurt (it's full of good-for-you nutrients), and use it in place of the liquids in baked goods recipes.
3. If your yogurt ends up thicker than you want it, just add some of the whey back.
