Greek Yogurt

Cultural Context

Originating in Greece, Greek yogurt has been a staple for centuries, known for its rich texture and tangy flavor. Traditionally, it was made by straining regular yogurt to remove excess whey, resulting in a thicker product. It is commonly enjoyed with honey, fruits, or as a base for savory dips like tzatziki. Today, Greek yogurt is popular worldwide, appreciated for its versatility and health benefits, often used in smoothies, dressings, and desserts.

whole milk

🥗Healthier: low-fat milk

💰Cheaper: powdered milk

Low-fat milk reduces calories while still providing creaminess.

🥗Healthier: probiotic capsules

💰Cheaper: store-bought yogurt

Probiotic capsules provide beneficial bacteria at a lower cost.

1

Heat 6 cups of Fairlife whole milk to 185° over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.

2

Once the milk reaches 185°, place it in a cold water bath to cool it down.

3

Check the temperature of the milk as it cools; when it reaches between 90 and 100°, pour it into a crock pot.

4

Add a few tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt to the milk and mix well to incorporate.

5

Cover the crock pot with a thick towel and let it sit on the counter for 9 hours to turn into yogurt.

6

After 9 hours, uncover the crock pot; the substance is now regular yogurt.

7

Set up a bowl, strainer, and cheesecloth, then pour the yogurt into the cheesecloth.

8

Cover the yogurt in cheesecloth and place it in the fridge for about 9 hours to strain out the whey.

9

After straining, you have homemade Greek yogurt; you can flavor it with 1 to 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract and maple syrup, adjusting to taste.
