Put the strained yogurt in a large bowl and mix in the salt gradually until smooth.
If the texture is too firm, add the milk spoon by spoon until thick and creamy.
Transfer the mixture to clean cheesecloth and rest over a strainer in the refrigerator for 18 hours.
Stir the yogurt again and press it into dry jars without leaving gaps.
If desired, melt the butter and drizzle a thin layer over the surface.
Close the jars and rest in the cold for at least 6 hours.
Use a clean spoon when serving and return the remaining yogurt to the refrigerator.
💡 Tip: If the jar and spoon are dry, the yogurt keeps cleaner; if it releases liquid, stir it back in instead of pouring it away.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve winter yogurt with hot bread, boiled potatoes, or bulgur pilaf.
