Ingredients (2)

Directions

  1. Add one quart of whole milk (1 quart) into a medium-sized saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it reaches 182°F. Make sure to stir intermittently so it doesn't develop a skin or burn on the bottom.

  2. Once you’ve hit your temperature, remove from the stove and let it cool down to 115°F.

  3. Take 3 ½ tablespoons of store-bought yogurt (3 ½ Tbsp) that has live and active cultures and mix it with one cup of your warm milk (1 quart). Pour that mixture back into your pot and give it a good stir. Make sure your mixture does not drop below 110°F.

  4. Take your mixture and pour it into two pint sized jars; lightly covering it with a lid. Place the jars in a warm area that’s about 110°F. To do this, you can wrap your jars in towels and place them in the oven with the light on.

  5. Let these sit out for 6-12 hours to let thicken.

  6. To make a greek yogurt, take a strainer lined with cheesecloth and pour your mixture through it. Let it drip for one hour in the refrigerator.
