Homemade Yogurt
Report
I use a heavy, heat-proof jar, and sterilize it by pouring boiling water into it and letting it stand, then draining it well before adding the yogurt mixture. Swaddling the jar with a towel is a good way to keep it warm if you don’t have a warm place in your house or apartment.
I’ve never made it with low fat or reduced fat milk because I like whole milk yogurt. People do say it works although I haven’t tried it. Be sure to use a brand of yogurt that has live and active yogurt cultures in it. Buttermilk won’t work, which I learned from experience the night before ; )

Ingredients
- 1 quart (1L) whole milk
- 1/4 cup (60g) plain whole milk yogurt
Instructions
- Clean a 1 quart (1 l) jar by pouring boiling water in it and letting it stand 5 minutes. Drain the water (carefully, as the water and the jar will be hot), and let the jar dry.
- Heat the milk in a saucepan fitted with a thermometer, or use an instant read thermometer, until the milk reaches 180ºF (82ºC). Remove from heat.
- When the temperature drops to 115ºF (45ºC), stir in the 1/4 cup of yogurt, then pour the mixture into the jar and cover it.
- Put the yogurt in a slightly warm place, and leave it undisturbed for 10 to 12 hours. The longer fermentation will yield a more tart yogurt. An oven that has a pilot light, is good. I have radiant heat (under-floor* heat) and put it in a warm spot.
- Chill the yogurt thoroughly, at least three hours. The yogurt will thicken up once cool.
Notes
- *For those concerned that I am putting it on the floor, I make sure there is a protective layer of glass between the yogurt and the floor.
