  • 2 tablespoons homemade yogurt for starter

Steps

  1. Pour milk into a heavy-duty pot to heat on the stove.

  3. Remove milk from heat source and remove skin from surface.
  4. Allow the milk to cool. Add cooled milk to 2 tablespoons yogurt and stir until it is smooth. Add this with the milk and whisk until smooth.

  6. Chill, or strain it to make a thicker yogurt.
