Ingredients

    1 Quart skim milk (I use a mason jar to measure)
    2 Tblsp. plain yogurt
    Also need:
    cooking thermometer
    whisk
    sauce pot
    cook pot
    picnic cooler

Directions

1. Pour the skim milk into a quart mason jar or other quart jar that yogurt will be stored in to measure. Pour into cook pot.
2. Using a cooking thermometer to monitor temperature, and stirring occasionally, heat milk to 180 degrees. Remove from heat.
3. When milk has cooled to 110 degrees, add 2 Tblsp. plain yogurt from previous batch or store. If I am making 2 quarts, I add 5 Tblsp.
4. Stir with whisk until totally mixed in. Pour into quart jars and WITHOUT A LID, place into a picnic cooler.
5. Boil water in a sauce pan and place sauce pan in cooler with yogurt. Let sit in cooler with lid closed for 8 - 14 hours. I find the closer to the 14 hour mark, the better.
6. Take out of cooler and place lid on jar and store in refrigerator. Batch lasts for about 2 weeks before spoiling. Use as you would store-bought yogurt. One quart makes 4 1-cup servings.
