How to Make Unpasteurized Yogurt

To make unpasteurized yogurt, you must have raw milk. Raw milk is straight from the cow and has not been processed in any way. In many states, it's illegal to sell or buy raw milk. But if you have a supply available, making unpasteurized yogurt is simple. The yogurt takes only a few minutes to put together but does require several hours to set up. Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

  • 1 quart unpasteurized milk 4 tbsp. store-bought plain yogurt with live cultures, or 1 package of yogurt starter Saucepan Candy thermometer Quart jar with lid Dishtowel Cookie sheet

Instructions

    • 1

      Pour unpasteurized milk into a saucepan and place it on a stove top.

    • 2

      Turn the heat on medium low under the saucepan and warm the milk to 110 degrees. Use a candy thermometer to make sure you don't get the milk too hot, because heat can kill the cultures needed for making yogurt.

    • 3

      Remove the milk from the heat and add the plain yogurt or the packaged starter, stirring to fully incorporate it into the milk.

    • 4

      Pour the milk into a 1-qt. glass jar and wrap the jar with a dishtowel. Place the jar in the center of a cookie sheet.

    • 5

      Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and then turn off the oven.

    • 6

      Place the cookie sheet with the jar in the oven and close the door.

    • 7

      Check the yogurt after 8 hours to see if the mixture has thickened. If not, run the preheat cycle of your oven again at 200 degrees and turn it off. Let the yogurt set another 3 to 4 hours.

    • 8

      Remove the yogurt from the oven, place the lid on the jar and refrigerate.

    • 9

      Allow the yogurt to cool completely in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours before eating.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can also make yogurt in a thermos. Pour boiling water in the thermos and let it sit for 4 to 5 minutes. Pour out the water and replace it with the yogurt-infused milk. Put the lid on the thermos and let it sit for 8 to 10 hours. Pour it into a quart jar or smaller containers to refrigerate. If you have a yogurt maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions. You can also use goat's milk in this recipe.
