Greek-style yogurt is whey-free yogurt, which is the product of yogurt and whey filtered. Its viscosity is between yogurt and cheese, and it still retains the unique sour taste of yogurt.
Like most yogurts, whey-free yogurt is made from cow's milk, although some have extra cream or milk powder added, and most whey-free yogurts are made with real milk.It's Greek yogurt that goes through a special filtering process that removes most of the sugar, lactose, and whey, making it as thick as cream. In the same unit, Greek yogurt contains twice as much protein as traditional yogurt and half the calories.
To make Greek yogurt, you need to make regular yogurt first, prepare a large crisper container that can hold the milk in the serving, and pour the yogurt starter into it. Put the milk in the milk pot and heat it on medium heat, and keep using your little finger to test the temperature. When it feels hot but not hot (almost between 37-42 degrees), you can turn off the heat.
Now ready to convert ordinary yogurt into Greek yogurt, boil the gauze (drawer cloth) in a clean milk pan in advance, remove it and wring it dry; put the cloth in a large bowl, pour the prepared ordinary yogurt on the gauze . Gather the gauze all around, tie the mouth tightly with a thick rope or tape, then insert two chopsticks into the gauze to seal it out, put it on a rack and put it in the refrigerator, and put a large bowl under it to catch the drained whey. After 12-15 hours, open the gauze and pour out the Greek yogurt. The final product of 1 liter of milk is 300g. Pair it with your favorite jam and fruit, and a delicious low-fat dessert is born.
