Instructions
First things first you gotta heat the milk in your pot over medium heat. Stir it every now and then so it doesn’t scorch.
Keep going till it hits about 180°F. That’s when the proteins get ready to make the creamy texture you want.
Pull the pot off the heat and let your milk cool down to roughly 110°F. This is where the starter cultures get happy and alive.
Stir in your yogurt starter really well until it’s all mixed in smooth.
Pour this combo into your nice clean container and cover it up with your lid or towel so no strangers get in.
Place the container somewhere warm and draft-free for like 6 to 12 hours. This incubation is the slow release phase of flavor building.
After it’s firmed up good, stick it in the fridge for a couple hours to chill before you dig in.
