Note that homemade yogurt is thinner than most store-bought varieties. If you like thicker yogurt, there are two options:
- Strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth-lined sieve or coffee filter. Line a sieve with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and set over a large bowl. Put the yogurt in the sieve, cover, and let strain overnight in the refrigerator.
- Add 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder (organic versions are available) to the milk when you heat it. More milk solids, which is what dry milk powder is, will create a firmer texture.
