Easy Homemade Yogurt
By moninikole
See above
- 1 ) Place 8 cups (1/2 gallon) of milk in the crock-pot (I like to use 1%, but I have heard that any will work)
- 2 ) Put the crock-pot on the low setting and let the milk “cook” for 2 1/2 hours.
- 3 ) Unplug the crock-pot at let it sit for 3 hours.
- 4 ) Take out about 2 cups of the milk mixture from the crock-pot and mix that with your 6 oz. container of yogurt (I used greek yogurt)
- 5 ) Pour your yogurt and milk mixture back into the crock-pot, mix well and return the lid.
- 6 ) Wrap the crock-pot in towels or a large blanket and leave it set overnight (unplugged).
- 7 ) in the morning (after about 8-10hrs) you will have a somewhat runny, but thick enough yogurt in your crockpot.
- 8 ) You now have the option to strain the yogurt (using coffee filters or cheese cloth in a strainer) to thicken or use the yogurt as is.
- 9 ) Be sure to save 6 oz. of your homemade yogurt to use as a starter for your next batch – no store bought yogurt needed next time! :)
