You Will Love Yogurt!!
E s p e c i a l l y Greek Yogurt🍦
And this is WHY:
So what is Greek yogurt? Greek yogurt is essentially the same as regular
yogurt with the addition of one critical step – straining! At the very
end, the yogurt is strained to remove the excess watery whey, creating a
thicker, more protein-dense product. So while we call this variation of
yogurt “Greek yogurt” in the U.S., you may see it called “strained
yogurt” in other areas of the world.

Make your own Yogurt!!!
(Whaaa?! I can do that?!😲)
You will need: 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻2quarts whole milk, the fresher the better 🥛
¼cup heavy cream (optional) 🍦
3 to 4tablespoons plain whole milk yogurt with live and active cultures 🦠
If you got all those ingredients - great! You are fully equipped and ready!
🍦Step 1
Rub an ice cube over the inside bottom of a heavy pot to prevent scorching (or rinse the inside of the pot with cold water). Add milk and cream, if using, and bring to a bare simmer, until bubbles form around the edges, 180 to 200 degrees. Stir the milk occasionally as it heats.
🍦Step 2
Remove pot from heat and let cool until it feels pleasantly warm when you stick your pinkie in the milk for 10 seconds, 110 to 120 degrees. (If you think you’ll need to use the pot for something else, transfer the milk to a glass or ceramic bowl, or else you can let it sit in the pot.) If you’re in a hurry, you can fill your sink with ice water and let the pot of milk cool in the ice bath, stirring the milk frequently so it cools evenly.
🍦Step 3
Transfer ½ cup of warm milk to a small bowl and whisk in yogurt until smooth. Stir yogurt-milk mixture back into remaining pot of warm milk. Cover pot with a large lid. Keep pot warm by wrapping it in a large towel, or setting it on a heating pad, or moving to a warm place, such as your oven with the oven light turned on. Or just set it on top of your refrigerator, which tends to be both warm and out of the way.
You're almost there...
