Instructions

Line a fine-mesh sieve with a coffee filter. Place yogurt in the sieve over a measuring cup and refrigerate for about 8 hours, until 1/2 cup of whey is collected.
In a large bowl, whisk together half-and-half and orange drink mix. Stir in the strained yogurt and sweetened condensed milk until everything is well combined and smooth.
