How do we make greek yogurt?! Like the thicky kind... I can't find it where I live and really wanted to venture out and make some!

[danieldelaney]

@MsSarahmuller Ok - true story - you can take this yogurt, put it in cheese cloth, and hang it. The liquid will slowly drain out and you'll be left with greek yogurt!!!

Daniel Delaney, the net's best in fun food!

[danieldelaney]

@lsatlof You just made my night. Thanks!

[lazyhazycrazy]

What amount of yogourt was in that container? I'm from Canada and I don't think we have yogourt available in that size container. Thanks!

[danieldelaney]

@lazyhazycrazy Hm - maybe a 1/2 cup size?

[lazyhazycrazy]

@danieldelaney Thanks for the reply! I'll try that out.

[danieldelaney]

@lazyhazycrazy sure! it's totally flexible.

[HopefullyShrinking]

I was thinking of making some yogurt. Thanks for the recipe! That "container of plain yogurt" though... is that an individual container or one of the big containers?

[danieldelaney]

@HopefullyShrinking Individual container. :)

it tastes much better than regular yogurt and it is thicker, my mom makes yogurt and i love to eat it with cocoa or jam

[danieldelaney]

@blooz87 Yea!!! Awesome that you've got a mom that makes that kind of great food.

Hey Dan I am sooo excited my brother just was nominated for the 2011 James Beard award for best chef in the South East -- check the huffington post - Keith Rhodes, Wilmington NC (wooot wooot) I love greek yogurt by the way!!!

[danieldelaney]

@ItsMeFawn Congrats much!

[margowsky]

What level of fat for the milk?? 2%? Only whole D?

[blooz87]

@margowsky i know that 3,2% works for sure

[danieldelaney]

@margowsky I like whole milk, personally. I try and buy non-homogenized milk when available, but you can use whatever you'd like.

I love coffee flavored yogourt with fruit for dessert *drools*

[danieldelaney]

@PlatypusGuitar nice! nice! do you make it yourself?

[aglanceatmyworld]

I've thought about making yogurt before, but I'm kind of afraid to...

[danieldelaney]

@aglanceatmyworld what part of it makes you nervous?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@danieldelaney Just knowing that I'd be dealing with bacterial fermentation...and being lactose intolerant I don't want to make my body any more angry with dairy products.

[danieldelaney]

@aglanceatmyworld True! But if the majority of the lactose is eaten up, couldn't you then consume it?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@danieldelaney I can have lactose (to a certain degree) when I take a pill with it...I guess I'm afriad I'd somehow intensify the lactose. Mostly just worried about stuff that probably couldn't even happen...

[QueenNefertiti87]

also, it helps with bacterial vaginosis. sorry about that fact.

[danieldelaney]

@QueenNefertiti87 good to know… i guess… ;)

[monochromemanett]

[danieldelaney]

@monochromemanett GOOD CALL!
