This homemade yogurt recipe uses whole milk and a bit of live-culture yogurt to create a creamy, tangy treat that's perfect for the whole family. Easy to follow and customizable, it's a cost-effective way to enjoy fresh, organic yogurt every week.
Heat the milk to 180°F using your preferred method (Instant Pot, stove, Crock Pot). Cool the milk to 110°F. Remove 1 cup of the warmed milk and place it in a separate bowl. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of yogurt until well combined. Pour the yogurt mixture back into the pot of milk and stir thoroughly. Incubate at a steady temperature of around 110°F for 6-8 hours. Check the consistency; if set, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Store in airtight containers and save a bit of yogurt as a starter for your next batch.
Notes
