Instructions
-
Choose a flavor of yogurt you like, or use plain and add fruit or flavorings later.
-
Line a strainer with two layers of cheese cloth or a coffee strainer. Coffee strainers are easier to use and make for simple clean-up.
-
Put strainer into a bowl. Make sure that the strainer is small enough not to touch the bottom of the bowl. The liquid needs room to drip out and stay at the bottom.

Place one quart of yogurt into the strainer. Working with smaller batches makes the process go more quickly.
-
Cover the entire bowl and strainer with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator.
-
Chill for 8 to 12 hours, pouring off the whey as necessary.
