Greek Yogurt
It is really easy to make homemade yogurt. I used organic milk from grass fed cows to make this a super food.
5 cups whole milk
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Let yogurt warm to room temperature. Put the milk in a double boiler over a pan of boiling water. Heat until the milk reaches 185 F. Do not boil the milk. Let the milk cool to 100 to 110 F. Do not let it cool below 90 F before adding the plain yogurt which will serve as the culture starter.
Stir well until smooth with no lumps remaining. Place in a yogurt maker for 8 to 9 hours and desired consistency is achieved. I used the Dash yogurt maker.
To get Greek yogurt, strain the yogurt mixture. Place four layers of cheese cloth in a strainer over a bowl. Pour the yogurt into the cloth lined strainer. Place plastic wrap over the top. Place the bowl in the refrigerator.
Allow to drain for at least 2 hour. The longer the straining time the thicker the finished product.
Remove from the refrigerator and squeeze out the excess liquid by pushing on the top.
The liquid is whey and can be discarded or used in smoothies, or at add extra protein when cooking or baking.
