I like yogurt, but don’t like the high price so I decided to make my own. It’s not hard. You might want to give it a try.

You’ll need:
8 cups of whole or 2% milk
1/2 cup of commercial yogurt that says “live cultures” on the label. That’s all the ingredients you’ll need.

Heat the milk in a Dutch oven. Heat it over medium heat to 200 degrees. Stir the milk gently so the milk doesn’t burn.

Cool the milk to 112-115 degrees. Stir occasionally to prevent a skim on top. 

While the milk cools, heat the oven to about 150 degrees and turn it off.

Take a cup of yogurt with the live cultures and whisk it with about a cup of the cooled milk in a bowl. Then whisk that mixture into the milk in the Dutch oven. Place the lid on the pot.

Wrap the Dutch oven in a bath towel and place it in the slightly warmed oven. Turn the oven light on and close the door.

Leave it alone until the next day. Then dish it into a closed container and store it in the refrigerator.

When you are ready to eat a portion I sometimes flavor it with instant Jello pudding if I want a different taste.
