Indulge in the creamy and tangy goodness of homemade honey Greek yogurt. This recipe is simple and easy to follow, allowing you to enjoy a healthy and delicious snack or breakfast option. With just a few ingredients, you can create a creamy yogurt that is perfectly sweetened with honey. Plus, Greek yogurt is packed with protein and probiotics, making it great for your gut health. Whip up a batch of this delicious honey Greek yogurt and enjoy it plain or with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruits, nuts, granola, etc.

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of 180°F. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the milk cool down to 110°F. You can speed up the cooling process by placing the saucepan in a cold water bath.
  3. Once the milk has cooled down, whisk in the plain Greek yogurt until well combined.
  4. Cover the saucepan with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm spot for 6-8 hours for the yogurt to ferment. The longer it ferments, the tangier the yogurt will become.
  5. After the fermentation process, refrigerate the yogurt for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to set and thicken.
  6. Once the yogurt has set, stir in the honey until it is fully incorporated. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
  7. Serve the homemade honey Greek yogurt plain or with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruits, nuts, or granola. Enjoy!
