📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the strainer over the bowl and line it with a few layers of cheese cloth, paper towels or coffee filters.
2
Plop the yogurt into the center, then fold the cloth over to loosely cover.
3
Place the bowl in the refrigerator and allow it to drain for at least ⏱️ 3 hours or up to 24. The longer it sits, the thicker it will become. I usually do it overnight.
4
Spoon the thickened Greek yogurt into a container and use as desired. It will keep in the refrigerator until the expiration date on the original yogurt container.
