\"Yogurt<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Take a fine-mesh strainer and spread cheesecloth on it. Place the sieve over a large bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Spoon the yogurt mixture on the cheesecloth-lined sieve, cover with a kitchen towel, and place in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours. Over the day, the whey will drip and collect in the bowl below, making the yogurt firmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
