Sure, you can buy Greek yogurt…but it’s more fun to make-it-yourself. All you need is a colander, a kitchen towel and some time. Learn how to make Greek yogurt from Mark Bittman of the The New York Times.

Tips for making your own Greek yogurt:

• Keep fat in check. Start with low-fat or fat-free plain yogurt.
• Check the label. Choose yogurt without added gelatin or other thickeners. Gelatin binds the liquid, preventing it from draining away.
• Stay cool. Keep yogurt refrigerated during the straining process.
