Homemade Greek/Balkan Style Yogurt image

This is a recipe that I adapted from one I saw on YouTube. I have tried making homemade yogurt many times, using various methods and, BY FAR, this is the easiest way I've found. AND...It makes fabulous yogurt! I followed the directions on YouTube and mixed some with berries and honey. Yum!

Categories     Greek

Time 14h30m

Yield 4 cups, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 liters whole milk (that's about 1/2 a gallon for all y'all Americans!)
1 cup low-fat milk
1/3 cup powdered milk
10 g yogurt starter (I use yogourmet, from Quebec )

Steps:

  • 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 110°F
  • 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.

This yogurt is a bit bland. It needs more flavor.

This yogurt is just okay. It's not as creamy as I would have liked.

I love the tangy flavor of this yogurt. It's perfect for making tzatziki sauce and other Greek dishes.

This yogurt is a game-changer! It's so much healthier than store-bought yogurt and it tastes amazing. I'll never go back to store-bought yogurt again.

The yogurt was a bit too sour for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll try using less yogurt starter next time.

This Greek-style yogurt turned out amazing! It has a velvety smooth texture and a slightly tangy flavor. I used whole milk and it came out super creamy. Will definitely make it again!
