Homemade Greek/Balkan Style Yogurt
- 2 liters whole milk (that's about 1/2 a gallon for all y'all Americans!)
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 13 cup powdered milk
- 10 g yogurt starter (I use yogourmet, from Quebec )
- Pour the milk and powdered milk into a large pot or saucepan and heat on stove to 185F, stirring constantly.
- This should take about 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the milk sit until the temperature reads 110F
- Add the starter and stir to combine.
- Put the lid on the pot and wrap the pot in a blanket.
- Put it in a warm place (I use my oven - turned off, of course!
- ).
- Leave it for at least 12 hours.
- When you check it, it should be solidified, but creamy when stirred.
- Empty the yogurt into a colander lined with cheesecloth.
- Set the colander in a large bowl and put it back in the blanket for 1-2 hours.
- When you check it, there should be about a cup to a cup and a half of clear liquid (whey) in the bowl and the yogurt will be thickened considerably.
- Transfer the yogurt to the container and refrigerate.
