Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Yogurt Dripping (LSCDL Method) The following directions are for dripping cow's milk yogurt. I drip ALL my yogurt, and since I use a LOT of yogurt, only the best mass production methods work! I find that I get the best results from dripping yogurt which has been chilled at least eight hours (for a two liter / half gallon batch) in the refrigerator. I bought a dozen inexpensive all cotton handkerchiefs at an outlet store for dripping yogurt. I wet one, and line a colander with it (wetting it makes it stick to the sides of the colander so it doesn't go FLOP just as the yogurt goes PLOP) and then scrape the yogurt into it. I cover it and set it over a bowl. And then fold the handkerchief corners up over the top of the bowl. (If you don't, they will wick the liquid up and over the side of the bowl, says the woman who came back to find a counter covered with yogurt drippings....) When dripping a half-gallon of half and half yogurt, I only get about 2 cups of liquid out of the half gallon, whereas with regular whole milk, I get 4 cups liquid to throw away. It takes anywhere from 4-6 hours to get the yogurt dripped the way I like it. Sometimes I stick colander and bowl and all in the refrigerator over night and just let it do its thing. Dripped or drained yogurt is also called yogurt cheese. The advantage to the handkerchief is that after a couple hours, I can remove the cover, gather up the corners of the handkerchief, and hang the package from a string on my cupboard door to finish draining. When it is drained, I can open the handkerchief, and turn the dripped yogurt into a storage container, and use a spatula to scrape the remaining yogurt off the handkerchief. Then I can easily wash the handkerchief, and, if desired, rinse it in bleach water to sterilize it. (Personally, I think American / Canadian reliance on antibacterials is absurd: hot water and soap get rid of as many bad buggies as most of the commercial antibiotic products.) I keep meaning the sew some bias tape along the edges of the handkerchiefs to create self-strung yogurt drippers, but somehow, I'm always trying a new recipe, instead of doing that! — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try it with some goat milk! Yummy. Can you fit in a nanny goat at your place? The fuzz cannot keep you from drinking her raw milk.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hi Ann, I live in NYC. Don't think my city apt could cope LOL although there was a guy out in Harlem that kept a tiger- and a couple of years back there was one family that had a crocodile also somewhere in the City. Can you imagine being the cop entering into the house to find this? Like a bad seen from the move " The Hangover " LOL. I would totally get a goat, a sheep a couple of ducks and hens too.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Of course a goat that is grandfathered in, would not, I suspect, produce milk!
