If you want thick yogurt, either add a bunch of powdered milk to your
yogurt mix... and/or strain the finished yoghurt through a
cheesecloth. Don't ask me exactly how though - I've never tried it!
It's not hard, I just haven't done it. All you need is some unbleached
muslin cut into squares and washed several times (to get ALL the
sizing out of it...). Then you line a colander with the muslin, put
the yogurt into it, and leave it to drain in the fridge.
