Eat Your Heart Out, Chobani!

A 32 ounce container of Chobani yogurt cost $4.99.  Thanks to my handy neighbor Greg, I have just learned that I can make about 30 ounces of Greek style yogurt for the cost of a half gallon of milk (about $1.79).  And it tastes better than Chobani.  All you need is a half gallon and milk and a little yogurt to start:


1.       Slowly heat half gallon of milk to 180 degrees – do not let the milk burn.
2.       Once the milk is 180 degrees pour it into a glass container and let cool to 105-110 degrees
3.       Mix the 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt and 2 tablespoons of milk – to thin out the yogurt.
4.       Stir in the yogurt/milk mixture into the cooled milk.
5.       Cover the pot or glass container.
6.       Heat your oven for 2 minutes just to get it warm.
7.       Wrap a dish towel around your pot or glass container and put it in the oven.
8.       Leave the light on to help maintain warmth in the oven.
9.   I leave it in the oven for up to 12 hours.
10.   Once out it’s yogurt!  Just drain for about 3 hours in fridge using a colander and cheese cloth.  

So easy, delicious and money saving!  Thanks Greg.  And Emberlie says, "I like eating bird legs better than yogurt".
