Makes 4 cups
- 4 cups milk (whole, 2%, 1%, or skim)
- ½ cup yogurt (or package of powdered yogurt starter)
- Place milk over medium heat and heat until it reaches 180 degrees F, stirring periodically
- Let the milk cool to 115 degrees F
- Once milk is cooled, stir in yogurt/yogurt starter until fully incorporated
- Pour into a glass container, bowl, Dutch oven, etc. and cover with a lid or towel
- Place into oven with oven light on (do NOT turn on the oven itself) and let rest for 8 to 12 hours; the longer it rests, the tangier and thicker the yogurt will be.*
- Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
*After this step, you will notice liquid whey pooled at the top of the yogurt. For Greek yogurt, strain the yogurt with a cheesecloth or colander to get rid of this liquid.
