How to Make Yogurt

Want to save a few bucks every month on plain yogurt? Here is how

Things You'll Need

• 2 tablespoons of Plain Yogurt
• milk (ideally whole milk, but 2% reduced fat milk will also do and so will non fat milk)

Instructions

1. Heat almost half-gallon milk in a container until it just starts to boil.

2. Remove the entire container from the stove and leave the milk to cool down. Do not expedite the cooling process by refrigerator.

3. Once the milk cools down to lukewarm temperature transfer it to another plastic or china container, which has a tightly fixing lid. Do not use a metal container, as it will give a bad taste to the yogurt. For convenience you may use the plastic container of the yogurt that you bought from the store. But make sure it is cleaned thoroughly.

4. Place 2 tablespoon full of yogurt at the bottom of the container. It's important not to stir the milk. Secure the lid on the container and place it gently in a warm corner of the room.

5. Surround the container with a woolen blanket to keep milk warm. Leave it undisturbed for 5-6 hours.

6. Congratulations! You have 'home-made' yogurt ready to serve.
