Equipment

Clean glass jars with airtight lids; thick-bottomed large pot; whisk; cooking thermometer; thick blanket or ice cooler

Ingredients

  • 1 gallon organic milk
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt

Instructions

  1. Using a large pot, heat the milk to about 195-200 F (~91- 94 C). This is for two reasons:. One: It kills any other bacteria that might be in the milk that would compete against the bacteria that convert milk to yogurt. Two: It changes the milk protein in a way that allows it to culture and firm up.

  2. Let it cool down to 110-115F (43-46C).

  3. Wisk in the yogurt culture into the milk gently.

  4. Transfer into the yogurt jars and close the lids.

  5. Wrap jars in a thick blanket or put in a ice cooler isolated with a blanket over night.

  6. After 6-8 hours the yogurt should be firm. Test by gently turning it to see if it keeps its shape. Transfer jars to the refrigerator.
