Greek Yogurt - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 gallon whole milk
1 cup plain yogurt (containing \"live culture\", check ingredients)

Preparation

In a pan, bring milk to almost boiling.
Pour in to a non-metallic bowl.
Cover and allow to cool to between 110-120\u00b0F.
Gently mix in the yogurt.
Cover bowl top and bottom with towels to retain warmth as the yogurt sets-- 8 to 12 hours or overnight.
Do not disturb it until the yogurt thickens.
Drain any excess liquid and store in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
If you want a thicker yogurt, hang in a muslin bag or cheesecloth for several hours to drain.
You will lose a lot of volume in any additional dripping.
