Step by Step Method
Step 1
Boil the milk in a saucepan to medium heat until you see a skin forming on the top of the pot.
Step 2
Pour about 4 quarts milk into a plastic or glass container, and let it cool down at room temperature.
Step 3
Meanwhile, mix the yogurt starter with 2 Tbsp. of milk so that is easily poured. The yogurt will come out sour if you pour the yogurt starter in the hot milk or if you use more yogurt starter.
Step 4
After you put the lid on the container, cover it with a plastic bag and a clean towel or blanket. Do not open the container before the recommended hours once you covered because you will stop the fermentation.
Step 5
After 3 1/2 hours open and place the container in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Step 6
Always save some yogurt to use as a starter for your next batch in the refrigerator in a small container.
