How Do You Make Greek Yogurt From Regular Yogurt?
Have a recipe that calls for Greek yogurt? Despite it’s growing popularity in cooking, Greek yogurt can still be hard to come by or rather expensive in some areas of the country. Make your own at home, by using regular American-style yogurt found at any grocery store. It’s easy to turn regular yogurt into Greek-style yogurt at home with just a few simple kitchen implements and a few hours of your time. All you need to do is drain the extra whey from regular yogurt to thicken the consistency. Make low-fat Greek yogurt using low-fat regular yogurt, or any flavor you’d like! The first step to making Greek yogurt from regular yogurt at home is to place the cheese cloth or clean coffee filter into the strainer or colander. Place the strainer or colander over the empty bowl so that it’s suspended and there are several inches of space between the strainer and the bottom of the bowl. This will provide an adequate amount of room for the drained whey (mostly water) to collect below the strainer.
