Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 quart whole milk

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt

Directions

  1. Heat up the oven by turning on for 3 to 4 minutes; turn the oven off.

  2. Bring milk to a boil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Stir in sugar and vanilla extract until blended. Turn off heat and let sit until warm but not cool.

  3. Place yogurt in a large container; pour in milk mixture. Cover and place in the oven until yogurt has set, 8 to 16 hours. Store in the refrigerator.

Cook’s Note

To turn into Greek yogurt, refrigerate yogurt for 16 hours. Line a sieve with cheesecloth and let drain for 4 hours. This will give you about a 1/2 quart.

Keep yogurt from your last batch to make yogurt in the future. Always use the freshest yogurt. One cup of yogurt is enough to make 2 to 3 quarts of yogurt.

Make sure your yogurt starter contains active cultures.
