Homemade 2-Ingredient Yogurt Recipe – Yields a Lot & Easy to Make

Ingredients

• 4 cups (1 liter) whole milk
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (with live active cultures)

Instructions

1. Heat the Milk – Pour the milk into a pot and heat it over medium heat until it reaches about 180°F (82°C). Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
2. Cool the Milk – Remove from heat and let it cool to around 110°F (43°C). This ensures the live cultures won’t be killed when added.
3. Mix with Yogurt Starter – In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt with a bit of the warm milk. Stir until smooth, then add back into the pot. Stir gently.
4. Incubate – Cover the pot with a lid and wrap it in a towel. Place it in a warm spot (such as an oven with the light on or a turned-off microwave) for 8-12 hours or overnight. The longer it sits, the tangier it gets.
5. Check and Refrigerate – Once thickened, transfer the yogurt to a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Enjoy your homemade, creamy yogurt! Save a few tablespoons to use as a starter for your next batch. 😊
