In a small pot add the milk, sprinkle the gelatine on top, let stand one minute, then place the pot on low heat and heat just until the gelatine has dissolved, stirring for approximately 1 minute, do not boil, then immediately remove from heat. In a medium bowl whisk the greek yogurt and sugar then stir in the gelatine.
