Ingredients
- 4 cups (1 liter) whole milk
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (with live active cultures)
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it reaches about 180°F (82°C). Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.
- Cool the Milk: Let the milk cool down to around 110°F (43°C). This is the ideal temperature for the yogurt cultures to thrive.
- Add the Starter: In a small bowl, mix the plain yogurt with a few tablespoons of the cooled milk until smooth. Then, stir this mixture back into the pot of milk.
- Incubate: Pour the mixture into a clean container, cover with a lid, and wrap in a towel. Place it in a warm spot (like an oven with the light on or a turned-off microwave) for 6-12 hours. The longer it sits, the tangier it becomes.
- Chill & Enjoy: Once the yogurt has thickened, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy plain or with your favorite toppings!
