Yields16 Servings
Prep Time15 minsCook Time6 hrs 45 minsTotal Time7 hrs
 1 g 2% milk
 1 cup plain yogurt with active cultures
1

The milk should be poured into a pot and heated to a boil while being stirred occasionally to avoid sticking. Simmer for about 10 minutes on low heat; do not allow it to boil over.

2

Pot should be taken from the heat and left to stand for 30 to 60 minutes. Every so often, dip your finger into the milk to test the temperature to see when it can stay there for 10 to 15 seconds without burning. Yogurt should be poured in; stirring is not necessary.

3

After covering the pot with a lid, carefully encircle it with a blanket. The wrapped pot should be left undisturbed for 6 to 10 hours, preferably overnight, in a moderately warm location. Put the yogurt in the fridge to let it continue to thicken.
