Homemade Yogurt
Smooth and creamy, this homemade yogurt is delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 quart milk
- 2 tablespoon plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- Sweetener of choice optional (I’ve used stevia and sugar with good success. Maple syrup tends to make the yogurt runny for some reason.)
Instructions
- Pour milk into a pot and heat on stove to 180 degrees.
- Turn off heat and let milk cool to 110-115 degrees.
- Whisk in the yogurt. Add vanilla and sweetener if desired.
- Strain milk into a quart jar and put a lid on.
- Place jar in an ice chest and fill with 115-120 degree water about 3/4 way up the jars. Close ice chest and incubate for 8 hours and then refrigerate. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: It’s easy to double this recipe and make it as big as you want. I usually make a gallon at a time. I use one gallon milk, 5.3 oz plain Greek yogurt, 4 tbsp vanilla extract, and 1 cup sugar.
