How to Make Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is a fad right now-it totes many health benefits such as high protein, low fat, and tastiness-well, I made up that last one, but it is pretty good.  Greek yogurt is also way expensive.  A while back I borrowed my mom's yogurt maker from the 80's and started making yogurt and eventually began to make this Greek yogurt.  Greek yogurt is great for dips, spreads, and frozen yogurt.  It has a creamy texture and flavor similar to cream cheese. 

Here we go:
Ingredients:
Yogurt

Tools:
Cheese cloth or a tea towel
Strainer
Bowl
Rubber band

Directions:  Place strainer over bowl.  Inside strainer place tea towel with edges of the towel draped over the strainer.  Spoon/dump yogurt into tea towel.  Gather edges of tea towel and tie closed with rubber band.  Wait a few hours and you'll have Greek yogurt.  The juices that are flowing out is the whey from the milk, according to my mom the whey is excellent for making bread with.
