Ingredients:
- Whole Milk: 4 cups
- Plain Yogurt: 1/4 cup (with live active cultures)
Instructions:
- Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a pot and heat it to 185°F (85°C), stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Remove from heat and let it cool to 110°F (43°C).
- Add the Starter: Whisk the plain yogurt into the cooled milk until fully combined.
- Ferment: Transfer the mixture to a container, cover it, and keep it warm (e.g., in an oven with the light on) for 4-8 hours. The longer it ferments, the tangier it becomes.
- Strain: Line a sieve with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and place it over a bowl. Pour the yogurt into the sieve and refrigerate for several hours to achieve the desired thickness.
- Store: Transfer the strained yogurt to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can last up to two weeks.
