Ingredients
- 4 quarts whole milk (organic whole milk such as Stony Field - ultra-pasteurized)
- 3 tablespoons yogurt (plain, to use as a starter)
How to Make
-
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.
