Making your own yogurt is very simple, heat milk and add a culture.
It less expensive and you know what is in it.
Keep everything very clean
About 2 qts milk
one container plain yogurt with live cultures
bowl
lid that fits bowl
thermometer
small pan of hot water
The milk you use is up to you. I use 3.5% fat milk and and dont know how non-fat milk will turn out.
Place yogurt culture on counter
Heat milk to 180*F and hold there for 15 min. I use the microwave as it doesn't over heat the bottom of the bowl.
Cool to 100*f as quickly as possible. I use a an ice water bath.
The culture. You can get any live culture yogurt from the store or get an yogurt culture from on line. I have been buying plain yogurt and have good results.
Mix culture in warm milk and cover with lid
Put in oven with light on, place pan of water in ovenand shut door.
Let set for 10 to 12 hours
If you want more of a greek yogurt style, line a colander with coffee filters and pour yogurt in, cover and let drain for 1/2 to 1 hour. Use the whey in soup or bread.
Place in refrigerator and enjoy
