Make Your Own Greek Yogurt

January 5th, 2011.

Categories: All, Tips

Some of the healthier recipes call for Greek Yogurt, but we can’t find in supermarkets here in Malaysia. I think it can only be found in Cold Storage, and it costs a bomb! So I’ve done some research, and have decided to make my own Greek Yogurt. Since Greek Yogurt is a strained yogurt, what you need is a large bowl, a large strainer and a coffee filter. Of course you will need a tub of fresh yogurt, just the normal low fat yogurt will do.

Place the large strainer on top of the bowl, and place the yogurt into the coffee filter which is put above the large strainer. See pic below:

After which, wrap the whole thing with cling wrap and place in fridge over night.

In the morning, you will find there is a lot of yellowish liquid in the bowl, and what is left in the coffee filter is the Greek Yogurt! Look at the texture, it is exactly what you need. I will share with you a very simple and nice Strawberry Cheesecake later, that will call for this Greek Yogurt.

I strained a tub of 500g yogurt, and it yields 240g of Greek Yogurt. The rest, 260g are just the yellow liquid! Guess the cost is reasonable, coz you will need more than double the ingredient to produce the same weight of Greek Yogurt. :)

    You don’t say what you do with the yellow liquid left behind, did you throw it out? It apparently contains riboflavin (Vit B2)

    Wow! Thanks for sharing! Yes, I threw away that yellow liquid, it looks yucky actually. :p Good to know that when we eat the normal yoghurt we are not just having that yellow liquid but also that vitamins! But just that yellow liquid alone, I don’t know how to use it ler…
