Home made Yogurt (Greek Style)

By pknaub

Ingredients

• 1/2 gallon MILK
• 4 oz plain YOGURT (store bought or, if you have already made some before, use that as the starter)

Preparation

Step 1

Turn crock pot to low pour in the milk

Heat on low for 2 1/2 hours

Unplug , but keep covered, let sit for 3 hours

After 3 hours, remove 1 cup of warmed milk and place in bowl. Add yogurt and mix well

Pour yogurt back into milk mixture and whisk

Put lid back on and wrap the entire pot with thick towels

Let sit for 8-12 hours (the longer it sits the more it will cultivate)

Stir yogurt and transfer to storage containers

For optimum taste, refrigerate for 8 hours before eating

To make Greek style, before cooling, line colander with coffee filter and fill with yogurt. You can also use a cheese cloth instead of coffee filter.
