Easy Homemade Plain Yogurt

Servings 2 Quart(s)

Ingredients
  

  • ½ gallon Cook’s Dairy Farm whole milk
  • ½ cup plain yogurt with live active cultures

Instructions
 

  • 1.  Heat milk in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until about 200° or right below boiling, stirring constantly. Take milk off heat and cool until just warm; stir occasionally.
    2.  Place yogurt in a medium bowl and add 1 cup of warm milk; whisk until smooth. Pour tempered yogurt into remaining warm milk and whisk to combine. Cover with a lid and place in a turned-off oven. Turn on oven light and leave milk in oven 4 hours or overnight without disturbing.
    3.  Remove yogurt from oven and place in a covered container in refrigerator. Reserve 1/2 cup yogurt for next batch of yogurt. Consume within 2 weeks.
    Cook’s Note: The longer the yogurt rests in the oven, the thicker and more tart it becomes.
