Homemade Yogurt

Directions

Bring 4 cups of whole milk to 170 degrees F.  DO NOT BOIL.  Bring temperature back down to 110 degrees F. {I stick the pot in a bowl of ice water, but be careful not to get water in the pot.}

Add the yogurt and mix well.  Pour into a Salton 1 Quart Yogurt maker and let sit on the counter for 8-12 hourse depending on you rpreference for taste and consistancy.  The longer it cooks, the stronger the flavor and the firmer the yogurt.

Refrigerate.  This will thicken up as it cools.

 

{You can strain this yogurt through a clean cotton dishtowel to make a thicker yogurt.  Strain even longer to make homemade sour cream.
