Description
Learn how to make homemade yogurt with just a few simple ingredients and steps!
Ingredients
Scale
- 42 ounces Organic milk (whole, 2% or skim)
- 1 packet Yogurt starter (live cultures)
Instructions
- First things first you gotta heat the milk in your pot over medium heat. Stir it every now and then so it doesn’t scorch.
- Keep going till it hits about 180°F. That’s when the proteins get ready to make the creamy texture you want.
- Pull the pot off the heat and let your milk cool down to roughly 110°F. This is where the starter cultures get happy and alive.
- Stir in your yogurt starter really well until it’s all mixed in smooth.
- Pour this combo into your nice clean container and cover it up with your lid or towel so no strangers get in.
- Place the container somewhere warm and draft-free for like 6 to 12 hours. This incubation is the slow release phase of flavor building.
- After it’s firmed up good, stick it in the fridge for a couple hours to chill before you dig in.
Notes
- Ensure your containers are clean to avoid contamination.
- The timing for incubation can vary based on your desired tartness and firmness.
