Ingredients
2
quarts
Greek yogurt
(whole milk)
2
tsp
Kosher salt
Instructions
Mix ingredients together thoroughly.
Place four large layers of cheesecloth over a colander (leave plenty of overhang).
Pour yogurt mixture into center of cheesecloth.
Lift sides of overhanging cheesecloth to form a pouch (some water will leak out from the yogurt and that is expected).
Twist the pouch until the yogurt forms a tight ball and tie into a knot.
Hang in refrigerator for 3 days with a bowl underneath to catch excess water.
After 3 days, remove yogurt from cheesecloth and store into a container with a tight lid.
Notes
Serve with Aleppo pepper, dried mint, olive oil and fresh pita.
