Ingredients
4 cups whole milk (or skim, if preferred)
2 tablespoons plain yogurt (with live cultures, to act as a starter)
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for sweetness)
Boiling water (enough to pour into your container)
Instructions
Heat the Milk: Start by heating the milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a near boil, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scalding. Once the milk reaches a gentle boil (around 200°F or 93°C), remove it from the heat and allow it to cool down slightly to around 110°F (43°C). This is the perfect temperature for adding your yogurt culture.
Mix the Starter Yogurt: In a small bowl, take about 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt (make sure it contains live and active cultures). Add a little bit of the warm milk to the yogurt and stir until smooth. This helps to dissolve the yogurt and ensures it blends evenly into the milk.
