If you are wanting to strain your yogurt for a thicker, more Greek-style version, use a yogurt strainer, or colander or sieve over a bowl lined with a cheesecloth, very fine sieve, and let it sit in the refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours to drain.

If you are happy with your yogurt, don’t forget to set aside 1/4 to 1/2 cups aside for the next batch, depending how much you want to make the next time.
