Yeah, the powdered milk is optional. And yogurt cheese is just drained yogurt but you drain it longer than Greek, like 24 hours. It's very thick, spreadable and you can eat as is or mix with savory or sweet things. My hubby made me a special large drainer from some stainless steel sheeting I bought from some company in California--about the same as a permanent coffee filter. Here's a pic!
