Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Plain yogurt with live active cultures
Instructions
Pour the 4 cups of whole milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Heat the milk gently, stirring occasionally, until the temperature reaches 180°F (82°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
Once the milk reaches 180°F, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool to 110°F (43°C). This step is crucial to avoid killing the live active cultures in the yogurt.
Once cooled to 110°F, transfer the milk into a clean glass or ceramic bowl or container.
In a small bowl, take 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt with live active cultures and mix it with a few tablespoons of the warmed milk to thin it out. Then, add this mixture back into the rest of the milk and stir thoroughly to combine.
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap, then wrap the container in a kitchen towel to maintain warmth.
Place the wrapped container in a warm spot, such as an oven with the light on or a yogurt maker, and let it sit undisturbed for 8 to 12 hours. The longer it sits, the tangier the yogurt will become.
After the fermentation period, check to see if the yogurt has set. It should have a creamy and thick consistency.
Once set, transfer the yogurt to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Enjoy your homemade yogurt plain, or add honey, fruit, or granola for a delicious twist!
