Heavenly, Home-Made Strained Yogurt
Straining yogurt results in an exceptionally creamy, rich, and less sour tasting flavor unlike anything you have ever bought from a store. You will be surprised at the amount of whey (a sour, viscous, greenish yellow and highly nutritious liquid) the process of straining will create. Don’t throw it away! It can be used in a number of ways. For example you can use it in place of water for any bread recipe, in smoothies for added protein, or as a substitute for buttermilk in baking recipes. Below is a yogurt recipe we have adapted from the cookbook “Ma Baseema” – Enjoy!
