Homemade Yogurt
Breakfast
Ingredients
- 1/2 gallon – whole milk
- 3 ounces – whole milk yogurt with active cultures
DIRECTIONS
Gather two big pots, 2 quart jars with lids, a thermometer, a whisk and a small cooler. Place your jars, whisk and lids in a pot and fill with a few inches of water. Cover and heat to boiling for about 10 minutes.
Pour 1/2 gallon milk into a stock pot and heat to 185 to 190°F. Fill a sink with ice water and place pot in ice bath. Cool milk to 120°F.
Meanwhile, heat another pot of water above 110°F. This will go in your cooler. Whisk in 3 ounces of yogurt starter. Pour the milk into jars and add lids. Place jars in cooler full of heated water.
Incubate for 4-6 hours, until the liquid milk in your jars has turned to yogurt when you tip them sideways. Ensure the temp stays around 110°F and add more hot water if necessary. After incubation, put jars in the fridge where yogurt will continue to firm up.
