Greek yoghurt is a creamy and nutritious delight but it can be a little expensive to buy regularly. Luckily, it’s pretty easy to make at home. With a few simple steps, you can enjoy the tangy goodness of this Mediterranean staple right in your kitchen.
Start by heating milk to 82°C and then allow it to cool to 43°C.
Stir in a tablespoon of yoghurt with active cultures into the warm milk.
Cover the mixture with a clean towel and let it sit undisturbed in a warm place for 6-8 hours.
Once it thickens, refrigerate the yoghurt for at least 3 hours to cool and set further.
Line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl. Pour the yoghurt into the colander and let it strain for 2-4 hours.
Transfer the strained yoghurt into a container, your homemade Greek yoghurt is now ready to be enjoyed.
