And what would you think if I told you that you could make it at home with just 2 ingredients and one food thermometer? Yes my dear, we could make it at home. For a year, I learn directly from my Turkish friend and with a liter of milk and a cup of the remaining Greek yogurt we could transform the milk into yogurt. In some countries, Greek yogurth could be pricely that’s why you need this recipe and start saving your money 🙂

Cuisine Greece, Turkish

Servings 4 Jar bowl

Equipment

• 1 Food Thermometer

Ingredients

  

• 3 liter milk pasteurized
• 1 bowl Greek yogurt about 200 gr

Instructions

 

• First, using a clean white cloth, strain your pasteurized milk. The reason why I use pasteurized milk because the taste of Greek yogurt become more sour and the texture is alot more thicker than the regular milk but a store bought milk work wells too, but make sure use a whole milk.
  
• You need to scald the milk and let it cool down until the temperature reaches around 40-45 celcius. In my experience 42 degree is the best one. If you don't have food thermometer you could use your finger. Deep it into the milk about 5 or 7 second. If you could handle the heat it most likely the right temperature. But I do really recomend to use food thermometer, take it as a kitchen investment 🙂
  
• When your milk reaches a right temperature you need a bowl of greek yogurt as a starter. Mix a bowl of your milk into the starter and put it back to the whole milk. Stir it throughly until it well combined.
  
• 
• 
• Prepare your clean jar bowl and pour your milk into it. Don't cover the jar bowl.
  
• Place your liquid milk into warm place. The right temperature to firm the yogurt is about 35-45 degree. Oven or kitchen cabinet are the right place to store them but just make sure it will not be opened until around 6 hours. Personally, I make them in the night and the next morning, the yogurt is ready to consumed.

  Cover the jar and store them in the fridge.
  

Notes

Cooking Tips :

1.  Make sure you boil your milk up to 88- 100 degree celcius.
2. The jar bowl need to be clean and dry before you pour you liquid milk.
3. It takes time to make yogurt in the winter time (because it needs warm temperature to firm the yogurt) so keep it in the Oven is the best option.
